Churchill is located on the far west coast of Canada. Recently this holiday has become more and more popular. If the Environment were to undergo a harsh change due to pollution, the surrounding species may vanish?
Churchill has become extremely popular and famous around the world, mainly because of the polar bears that travel inland during autumn. The polars take over Churchill and wander round taking over local villages and towns as well. The fact that there are so many polar bears coming to here, means it has adopted the name, Polar Bear capital of the world. This has helped boost the tourist industry around the area, and now tour operators offer Canada tours dedicated to this area, to show people the stunning environment.
Not only is Churchill rare, there is also another rare occurance, it is an Ecotone. When you have several environments or climates close together, this is called an Ecotone. Basically it stands on a border between three very different environments. To the southern region is the Boreal Forest, towards the north west you will find the Tundra like conditions, and directly to the north is the Hudson Bay area. It is also a perfect location to see the Aurora Borealis. Not only does this area have all the se attributes, it is also home to the Beluga whales in summer, over 57,000 of them, and has a very extensive amunt of bird fauna that cover the whole area.
Because of all the surrounding species and the Polar bears, Churchill needs to rely on the tourist industry heavily. The simple way to put it, is that Churchill is on the border between three dramatic climate and environmental differences. The tourism industry will fail. Canada holidays benefit greatly from this environmental phenomenon, but how much longer will it last. Alaska Cruises also circle round to this area, so maybe that holiday is better sooner rather than later.
