土著阿拉斯加人在北极变暖中测试传统食物的汞含量,推动气候抗御努力。 Indigenous Alaskans test traditional foods for mercury amid Arctic warming, driving climate resilience efforts.

新报告显示,北极迅速变暖正在破坏生态系统,威胁粮食安全,如Kugororuk河变成橙色等明显变化。 A new report reveals that rapid Arctic warming is disrupting ecosystems and threatening food security, with visible changes like the Kugororuk River turning orange. 在圣保罗岛,土著社区正在领导BRAIDED粮食安全项目,收集传统食物,如海鸟、海洋哺乳动物和比目鱼,在阿拉斯加费尔班克大学支助的一个部落拥有的实验室进行汞测试。 On St. Paul Island, Indigenous communities are leading the BRAIDED Food Security Project, collecting traditional foods such as seabirds, marine mammals, and halibut for mercury testing at a tribally owned lab supported by the University of Alaska Fairbanks. 这一由社区驱动的努力,结合了土著知识和科学,被视为建设抗御能力和适应北极各地气候驱动的环境变化所必不可少的。 This community-driven effort, combining Indigenous knowledge with science, is seen as essential for building resilience and adapting to climate-driven environmental shifts across the Arctic.
