Development
After watching so many videos about different kinds of development, and the positives and negatives about it...what are your thoughts? Write a short reflection.
Live Capture of Animals for Research
Critical Thinking Question: In the past, scientists have often used live capture studies – tranquilizing an animal to study it up close, and maybe tagging it with a GPS. On one hand, this really stresses out an animal that Inuit depend on for food…and some people believe that if you don’t respect the spirit of an animal, it won’t come back to provide for your family again. On the other hand, concrete scientific data can give you the information that you need to make the best management decisions…so that wildlife will always be around in the future. So, here’s the question….is live capture worth it?

ReplyDeleteAs my narrative on this remark, I've come up with a solution that animals in that communities area should come up with their own method (Capturing animals) municipally or regionally.
ReplyDelete(by Gula) My thoughts on all the videos is how much land the mines would destory if they did that in Nunavut. How our land would change and if that was a place where animals went for food or water where would they go. That makes me feel and think if they did that in Nunavut, how would the elders feel about it but the good part is the jobs that Inuit ca have and preovide food for their families. At my point of view it’s sad and can be helpful for families.
ReplyDeleteIt all comes down to consulting, working, asking questions, and researching with Inuit. Trying to balance IQ principles with development can happen if we work together. The prime example is the Nunavik hydro dam.. they didn't consult with the local people which made a huge impact on their secrete land, homes, and their lives. Yes, there is a lot of negative impacts of having a development that will affect the wildlife or the environment but to figure out a way to reduce, to sustainably, and to ensure that it can be mitigated. The beneficial impact will be to create jobs, to ensure there are people who either get red seal certificates, or gain that work experience when the development is shut down.
ReplyDeleteI think that, development can be viewed in 2 diffrent ways, and that is, that development is chaning, and i believe in development with ethical research prior to the project, that was not the case in earlier colonialism, there was no prior consultation, free consent and ethical research which is so important, and let alone, the intention of the development, is the project actually gonna have actual benefit and profit for the people living on the land? So Personally, I am for ethical development, but no mercy on the vidoes we just watched.
