Figure 4: GDP of activities, which may affect polar bears, conducted in the area where polar bears are likely to be present

Figure 4 shows the GDP of activities in the area where polar bears were likely to be present. We extracted electrical power generation, because the environmental impact studies that we consulted made no mention of the impact of electrical power generation sites on polar bears. Mining and mining exploration were by far the most important economic activities in the area where polar bears were likely to be present in Canada.
