Orphaned Wild Grizzly Cubs Need YOUR HELP NOW!

Orphaned Wild Grizzly Cubs Need YOUR HELP! And they need it NOW.

Two months ago, on April 28, 2020, a group of scientists, conservationists and business people from Canada and the US, got together in many virtual ways. They had three goals:

1. to make sure that the three orphaned wild grizzly cubs, whose mother was killed by hunters in Alberta, were sent into a wildlife rehabilitation centre (in Smithers,B.C.) and then, eventually, be released in Alberta.
2. To persuade the Alberta government to update the 2016 Alberta Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan
3. To encourage the Alberta government to licence one or both of their black bear rehabilitation centres for grizzly bears.
