Join us as we adventure into an ancient temperate old-growth forest with Julius Strauss, a former war correspondent, wilderness guide and activist. In a new world where grizzly bears are no longer hunted for their hide, paws, teeth or head, we discuss a monumental policy that could be overturned at any time. A new way of life that has emerged in the last few years for both bears and humans weave throughout the conversation, as hunters, fishers and foragers find a common ground.

This is a story about the life and death of a young grizzly bear in the Broughton Archipelago, British Columbia’s largest marine park. During one of the most impactful global events in recent history, a physically-distanced world saw a joint effort by First Nations, the Grizzly Bear Foundation and the provincial government to save a wayward male grizzly: Mali. Mike Willie of the Kwikwasutinuxw/Haxwa’mis First Nation and owner/lead guide of Sea Wolf Adventures considers how Indigenous governance can lead to more effective conservation and help strengthen our connection to each other and to the natural world.

Now a grandfather, Doug explores the future of the grizzly and the importance of the greater Yellowstone ecosystem for these soul-saving bears.
