• “There are trees and lawns in Nome (Alaska)
now,” said Patricia Cochran, chair of the Inuit
Circumpolar Council.
• “I never thought I’d see trees growing on the
tundra,” Cochran said about her hometown,
which lies on the Bering Sea and was once too
cold for trees to grow.
• “Beavers are overrunning the area now that
there is food for them. They are even in Barrow,
north of the Arctic Circle,” she told IPS from her
office in Anchorage.
