The number of snow geese arriving in the Arctic each spring to breed has risen over the past few decades. At first, wildlife biologists saw this as an environmental crisis, pointing to marshes(沼泽地)where
plants were eaten by the hungry birds, and the federal government responded by loosening restrictions on snow goose hunting across the country. But how do the Inuit(因纽特人)，in whose backyard this is taking place, and for whom fresh goose eggs and meat are among the pleasure of an Arctic spring, view the situation? A recent study is bringing Inuit wildlife experts and scientists together to look for common ground on managing the species.
The snow goose study asked experts in Coral Harbour and Arviat, on the north and west coast of Hudson Bay, to share their generations of knowledge about snow geese and their views on what should be done. “The community had concerns about controlling the population,” says Ron Ningeongan, a community officer for the Kivalliq Inuit Association in Coral Harbour, “and Inuit snow goose knowledge had never been recorded. People wanted to pass on what they knew.”
The Inuit experts rejected the idea of a cull(选择性宰杀)，considering it wasteful of the geese and unnecessary for the environment in general, but felt that hunting more geese in an organized way-for instance, paying local hunters a minimum amount of money and distributing the birds to disadvantaged families or operating a limited commercial hunt that would employ local people-would be appropriate.
The Inuit say that while there may be too many snow geese in some areas, it's not a crisis. Biologists now generally agree that there seem to be plenty of undamaged marshes available and newer research shows that some damaged areas can recover.
Conservation planners for the three migratory bird reserves in the area will use the study's recommendations, which is an excellent example of how indigenous (土著的) knowledge can strengthen wildlife management Johnson says.
“Now that we have recorded and documented Inuit knowledge of snow geese,” says Ningeongan. “when facing the crisis again, other people will be able to use the information to help manage the species, which is fundamental to dealing with it effectively. ”
28. Why did the federal government loosen restrictions on snow goose hunting? A. To create more marshes. B. To protect ecosystem. C. To make more profits. D. To wipe out the hungry birds. 29. Which of the following might Inuit wildlife experts agree on? A. Regarding too many snow geese as a crisis.
B. Never organizing large-scale commercial hunts. C. Employing poor families to hunt more snow geese. D. Using snow goose hunting to man's best advantage. 30. What do biologists think about the marshes' future at present? A. It's unpredictable. B. It’s hard to get better. C. It's too discouraging. D. It's a bit promising.
31. What does the underlined word “it\
A. The crisis. B. The species. C. Inuit knowledge. D. Inuit research.
