Bears need more protection now

This 1996 Wilderness Committee education report calls for the protection of bear sanctuaries. The Wilderness Committee approximates that Canada loses between 44,000 to 66,000 annually, which is more than 15 percent of the total estimated population of bears in the country. This issue gives the "bare facts" about bear populations, proposals and acts to prohibit the hunting of bears, and other bear 

related information.
