I went through the latest Canadian text with Pete Ewins of WWF Canada today
and we agreed the following changes. I hope you can still make them? They
are all in the post-Jay Malcolm comments version of page 7 - The Canadian
Arctic and Biodiversity.

Second paragraph, last sentence. Change end of it to ....."with possible
detrimental effects on species that depend on old-growth, such as Marten,
Woodland Caribou and Gray Wolf"

Last paragraph, first sentence. Change the end of it to...."rising
temperatures may result in regional extinctions of species such as the
polar bear and walrus.

Next sentence, change the last few words to ..."factor governing their
range distributions.

Last paragraph, penultimate sentence. Change end to..."contraction in
sea-ice extent and duration and, therefore, habitat for the polar bear.

Last paragraph, last sentence. Change end to..."but would impact northern
communities that rely upon polar bears for clothing and income.

Finally, on the picture caption it's very importnat we get this right. What
kind of caribou is it? There are three kinds. The small Peary caribou, the
barren ground caribou (like the Porcupine herd which is under threat from
climate change) or the wood caribou, which we refer too. Also, it should
NOT be a domestic reindeer.
JAY: Any thoughts on this?

That's all for now. Cheers, Adam
