About this episode

Mark Hall discusses the balance of grizzly bear populations and human activity in British Columbia.

In this episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, we sit down with wildlife advocate and filmmaker Mark Hall to talk about the idea of “grizzly bear balance” in British Columbia. As grizzly populations continue to grow and expand into areas with more human activity, the conversation around how these iconic predators should be managed has become increasingly polarized. Mark shares his perspective on the importance of looking at the full ecosystem when discussing predators, prey populations, habitat, and human use of the landscape. We discuss the role of science in wildlife management, how politics can shape conservation policy, and why honest conversations about predator numbers are often difficult to have. The discussion also touches on human–bear conflicts, the role hunters historically played in wildlife conservation, and why finding a practical balance between people and predators is critical for the long-term future of wildlife in the province.
