Grizzly bears no longer lords of the land
"There are some parts of the country, largely in the relatively unsettled portions of northern B.C. and the northern territories, where grizzly bear populations are stable and even expanding. But around the edges of Canada's Great Bear Country, in western Alberta and southern B.C., a panoply of human activities continues to fray the fabric of our forests, leaving a ragged patchwork quilt of small, isolated and threatened subpopulations of grizzly bears that are at increasing risk of becoming the latest victims in our 200-year conquest of the forests and grasslands over which they were once lords."
