WELCOM TO BEAR COUNTRY
Grizzlies have survived in extreme wilderness area of North America for over 50,000 years. Although these majestic creatures exist in harsh environments far away from man their numbers are constantly dwindling. Grizzlies show up in numbers late summer to wait for returning salmon. They depend on the annual salmon migrations to build up much needed fat for the long hibernation period over the pending winter. |

Strong salmon populations are the single reason for such a healthy bear population. Feeling the pulse of the Grizzlies survival, a salmon hatchery operated by the local First Nation people located in the same valley supplements the Grizzlies local salmon populations - along with providing traditional food stocks for the Homalco people. Dwindling in numbers in most North American rivers, salmon stocks are struggling to make a comeback comparable to 100 years ago when all rivers and streams of the North American continent were teaming with fish. There is still work to be done. |
The Race to Revitalize Wild Salmon Is Being Waged On A Global Scale. |
