Some of the species that were not among the most documented by CBMN participants are also important food sources, like beluga, walrus, moose, and shellfish. Documenting observations of predators, like grizzly bears and wolverines, is important because of safety concerns, the damage they can cause to property, and the impact they can have on caribou.

“Today was a tragic loss nearly lost my dad half of our hunting equipment plus our skidoo sunk dew to thin ice just minutes after harvesting the walrus thanks to other hunters we were able to go home.”
“We were on our way to go see if our caribou cache was still available, which it isn’t. Wildlife ate it, possibly a wolverine, wolves, fox or a grizzly, maybe a bear before going into hibernation”
