Wolf Control & Caribou Recovery: The Truth || HC Podcast || Ep. 174
The wolf control debate in British Columbia is far more complex than “stop the wolf cull.” In this episode, BC caribou biologist Mike Bridger explains what’s driving caribou declines, why habitat change has intensified predator pressure, and how wolf reduction fits into the broader recovery program. Mike also discusses maternal penning, First Nations partnerships, habitat protection, humane wolf removal, and what could happen if predator reduction stops too soon. A candid, evidence-based conversation about the difficult choices behind caribou recovery.

North America's thinhorn sheep are in the middle of a quiet but crucial conservation story and the stakes reach far beyond the mountains.

The Month The Grizzlies Returned || Rural Range Podcast || Ep. 3
A Southern Alberta rancher went from the occasional grizzly loss over a decade to eight cattle killed in a month, a charged encounter on his own land, and neighbors seeing the same devastation. Mark talks with rancher Isaak Bustard for a raw, firsthand look at what conflict really feels like when it hits a working operation. Isaak explains how the attacks unfolded, why carcasses were so hard to find, and what happens when a bear keeps returning to the same fields. He breaks down the impact on his third generation ranch, what the kill sites revealed, and why this year feels completely out of character. Isaak also gets candid about range riding, electric fencing, shifting bear behavior, and trying to protect livestock while still respecting the landscape. Learn more about your ad choices.
