LE CARIBOU N’A PLUS LE MÊME GOÛT
Les aînés Inuit observent les changements climatiques

New French edition of “The Caribou Taste Different Now” edited by José Gérin-Lajoie, Alain Cuerrier, Laura Siegwart Collier and Esther Lévesque

Climate change affects the entire world, but is up to four times more intense in the Arctic. What will be the consequences of thawing permafrost, changing migration patterns and the arrival of new species on northern environments and on the way of life of those who live there?

In this book, local elders and experts from eight communities in the Canadian Arctic share their observations on changes affecting their traditional activities, climate, animals and vegetation with a particular emphasis on berries. The central theme at the origin of this project, the ecology of small fruits, also encouraged the meeting of women who traditionally harvest plants and small fruits; They also represent more than half of the people interviewed for this book, which is aimed primarily at Nunavimmiut (residents of Nunavik) and anyone curious to learn more about the changes underway in the North.

Accompanied by summaries of observed changes, figures and comparative tables, this edition in French and Inuktitut (Nunavik) is richly illustrated and provides valuable and unique insight into the scientific literature on climate change.
