Wildlife advocates call on the federal government to take action, after the recent deaths of four grizzly bears in just one week in B.C.'s Yoho National Park.
WATCH There's a push from a group of wildlife advocates to come up with ways to mitigate animal deaths on highways. As Jayme Doll reports, Parks Canada says it’s already conducting a study on speed.The famous white grizzly bear, known as Nakoda , was found dead, two days after being injured in a vehicle collision in Yoho National Park in B.C.“The response has been a lot of frustration expressed by people and you can’t really blame them.
“We think there should be a summit to start to look at what other mitigations measures can be done and put some pressure on the federal government to start taking action here.”Parks Canada runs a bear guardian program, which deals with bear-related traffic issues, but the teams in Lake Louise and Yoho National Park were recently disbanded. A team remains in Banff, where it educates visitors about wildlife.
