Review and Analysis of Canadian Trade in Polar Bears from 2012–2021

A report “Review and Analysis of Canadian Trade in Polar Bears from 2012-2021” authored by Ernest W. T. Cooper has been published and presented on the Polar Bear Range States website.

The purpose of the review was to compile information about the harvest and trade in Canadian polar bears for the years 2012–2021. The report is a follow-up to the 2015 report entitled "Review and Analysis of Canadian Trade in Polar Bears from 2005–2014" and attempts to provide a national picture of Canadian exports linked to harvest management at the provincial, territorial or settlement area level.
