Grizzly bears, black bears, wolves, coyotes, cougars/ mountain lions,bobcats, wolverines, lynx, foxes, fishers and martens are the suite of carnivores that originally inhabited North America after the Pleistocene extinctions. This site invites research, commentary, point/counterpoint on that suite of native animals (predator and prey) that inhabited The Americas circa 1500-at the initial point of European exploration and subsequent colonization. Landscape ecology, journal accounts of explorers and frontiersmen, genetic evaluations of museum animals, peer reviewed 20th and 21st century research on various aspects of our "Wild America" as well as subjective commentary from expert and layman alike. All of the above being revealed and discussed with the underlying goal of one day seeing our Continent rewilded.....Where big enough swaths of open space exist with connective corridors to other large forest, meadow, mountain, valley, prairie, desert and chaparral wildlands.....Thereby enabling all of our historic fauna, including man, to live in a sustainable and healthy environment. - Blogger Rick

THE GRIZZLY BEAR AND DEVELOPMENT--OXYMORON

Whether it be the USA or Canada, is it really possible for the GRIZ to persist if we continue to develop oil and gas wells...................develop high speed highways to move materials to and from...............all the culverts and under/overpasses installed for wildlife protection will not really mitigate the Griz deaths that result from our industrial pursuits.................Single and sometimes twin births do not allow the Giz to easily overcome human caused mortality.......they are not a species where the 40 to 50% survival rates work easily into long term persistance for our largest Bruin....................We have to make the choice and provide the large wild spaces needed for their long term survival. Do we have the "family values" as a society to have this occur?   click the attachment below to read Canada's hypocrisy as it relates to Griz protection.
