Bears- The Alsek RRC, CAFN Renewable Resources, and YG’s Department of Environment held a public meeting in October 2008, to discuss the possibility of a grizzly bear population study here, and to talk about bear and human conflict issues. Since that meeting it was agreed that more focus was needed on reducing issues between people and bears in the communities, and that a grizzly bear population study could be revisited in the future.

Living with Bears Meeting - Mun Ku Hall on Mon March 16 2009 at 5:30pm.
