"The Kitasoo/Xai’xais and Gitga’at Nations have spearheaded a collaboration with scientists to better understand the prevalence of Spirit bear genes, while also probing how well Spirit bear hot spots are protected." https://t.co/6e7L5FH0TK via @nytimes

One year ago today, we banned the grizzly bear trophy hunt province-wide. I'm still so goshdarn proud of the years of work done by folks like @bearsforeverbc @Raincoast and others to make it happen.

[Bears Forever @bearsforeverbc]

Today marks the 1 year anniversary of the BC-wide grizzly hunting ban! ❤️ ~300 bears were saved this year alone.

Huge thanks to all of our partners who worked so hard to make this happen. And big thanks to Cheeky, who helped us reach this milestone.
