FEDERATION OF WESTERN OUTDOOR CLUBS
RESOLUTION
#39: THREATENED GRIZZLY BEARS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
|
In the United States, the
Forest Service has established habitat protection performance standards
for grizzly bear recovery ecosystems. Authorities there rely on
the cooperation of authorities in British Columbia and elsewhere in
Canada in pursuit of their recovery plans for populations of grizzly
bears that are threatened or endangered. However, British
Columbia also has populations of grizzly bears that are threatened.
|
The action of the new
British Columbia government in canceling a province-wide moratorium on
hunting of grizzly bears is giving rise to concern.
|
|
The Federation of Western
Outdoor Clubs urges British Columbia to reintroduce that moratorium on
grizzly bear hunting and to adopt a goal of zero tolerance for all
other human caused mortalities of these bears. The Federation
also urges British Columbia to adopt habitat protection performance
standards at least as stringent as those of the United States.
