In this episode, Mike sits down with Jesse Zeman from the BC Wildlife Federation to talk through the history of the grizzly bear hunt in British Columbia, why the ban came into place, and how things have changed on the landscape since 2017. Jesse shares what he is hearing from communities across the province, the rise in human bear conflicts, the role of behavior and habitat, and what a balanced path forward could look like. They also discuss funding gaps, First Nations partnerships, and why respectful storytelling matters when it comes to wildlife and conservation.
