Description
Grizzly bears, which once ranged throughout Alberta, are currently found in the Rocky Mountains and foothills, as far south as the United States border, and in the boreal forest from the British Columbia border to as far east as High Level, Peace River, Red Earth, and Slave Lake. The grizzly bear is considered a species that may be at risk of extinction or extirpation at the general status level. The goal of this recovery plan is to restore, and ensure the long-term viability of, a self-sustaining grizzly bear population in Alberta. The plan provides background information on grizzly bears, describes the threats facing the species, outlines proposed strategies to address these threats, and presents an action plan that lists priority actions required to maintain and restore the species.
