Episode Details

Rural Alberta municipalities are advocating for a regulated grizzly bear hunt, citing increasing human-bear conflicts and rising attacks on people and livestock. Despite a two-decade moratorium due to population concerns, grizzly numbers have surged from eight hundred to over eleven hundred. Conservationists warn of potential harm to famous park bears, while ranchers express safety fears. The forestry minister acknowledges concerns but has no plans to end the moratorium, instead focusing on a problem bear removal program. Experts emphasize conflict reduction strategies over a full hunt, highlighting the importance of female bears for population growth.
