Mark Boyce

Kirsten Milton, a representative of the New Hawk Nation, and Mark Boyce, an ecology expert from the University of Alberta, dive into the complexities of grizzly bear management. They discuss the recent bear attack on a school group and how Kirsten's community is responding. The conversation explores Indigenous cultural approaches to coexistence and the impact of hunting on bear populations. Mark shares insights on the dangers of mother bears, the increase in sightings, and whether reopening hunts would effectively reduce conflicts with humans.
