Wolf Control & Caribou Recovery: The Truth || HC Podcast || Ep. 174

September 15, 2026·1h 57m
Episode Description from the Publisher

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.
