POLAR BEARS

Quotas in other jurisdictions are allocated exclusively to indigenous people and include all known human-caused mortalities: subsistence harvest, guided hunting, known illegal kills, and kills in defence of life and property. Illegal harvest of polar bear is extremely rare in Canada and is not a threat to the species; there is no incentive to illegally trade items derived from polar bears as legal international trade satisfies trade demand.
