Thank you, Mr. Chair. Since the herds were declining circumpolar, they seem to line up with these long-term highs and lows. It’s been a struggle for everybody to pinpoint what exactly it is. So we continue to do work in areas such as predators, we continue to look at options on how to increase harvesting to predators such as wolves. We continue to do some work in that area, as well, on trying to determine what is being harvested by those animals, with some extra work and putting collars on them.
We continue to do the den site survey work with predators. I know we’re doing work with mines and others on grizzly bears. We’ve done some work, and I understand we continue to do work, on insects for an example, and, of course, climate change with weather, we continue to look at that as well.
Of course, we’re working with our partners, the traditional knowledge side of things as well. We continue to do some work there as well. But as far as pinpointing exactly what we think causes these long-term fluctuations, again, it’s been a struggle for everybody.
