The U.S. has been discussing grizzly recovery in the region for almost three decades. A “completely new” evaluation began this month after a previous plan to reintroduce the bears in the North Cascades was scrapped by the Trump administration. Ranchers have typically been opposed to reintroducing grizzlies, fearing they might attack cattle. The bears were hunted nearly to extinction in the last century.
“There are legitimate hurdles,” said the bear researcher with Biodiversity Pathways and the University of B.C. “That discussion is real and we definitely need to think about how to support those people who would have to live .”Wayne McCrory, a B.C. bear biologist who worked on plans to reintroduce grizzlies to the Manning Park region in the 1990s, said any bears should be collared and tracked to determine risk to people.
The B.C. government said Friday it’s working across ministries and in collaboration with the ONA, S’ólh Téméxw Stewardship Alliance, Nlaka’pamux Nation Tribal Council and the Upper Similkameen Indian Band to assess the feasibility of grizzly bear recovery in the North Cascades.
