Oost Groenland, Sermilik Fjord

Niet alleen in landen onder de evenaar hebben klimaatveranderingen gevolgen voor de lokale bevolking. Ook in Groenland is dit het geval. De jacht is tegenwoordig moeilijker en gevaarlijker. Maar zelfs al smelten de gletsjers sneller dan ooit, de Inuit zien ook positieve ontwikkelingen.

The past couple of weeks their has been a lot of political debate about the future of the small settlements.

When the traditional way of life disappears it will become to expensive to keep the settlements reachable and liveable.

"We have been living in close harmony with nature for centuries but we know we cannot controle the wheather.

We have always been experts in change, and that will stay the same." - Paulus Larsen

@Sweeny5000 I'll give it a try:

For a couple of years the survival of the traditional way of life of the Inuit is under pressure.

Climate change makes hunting more difficult and time consuming.

Seals migrate deeper into the fjords where it's colder.

The seal hunters have to follow them.

On Greenland there have always been colder and warmer periods.

But the past 10 years their are much more warmer periods.

Any chance of their being a translation for the titles?
