Rainforest to Rockies: Vancouver to Banff

With its large grizzly population and millions of visitors, the potential for human-bear conflict in the Canadian Rockies is high. But wildlife managers are committed to helping bears and people peacefully co-exist. Expedition Leader Lianne Thompson introduces a few of the region’s famous grizzlies (including “The Boss,” “Split Lip” and “Nakoda”) and explains the measures its national parks have taken to protect both bears and people, from bear-proof garbage cans to bear "re-education programs" to wildlife crossings linking habitat bisected by busy roads.
