Northwest grizz doing well
While hiking the CDT in 2004 I encountered some of the researchers collecting hair samples for a Grizzly population count in the area. The counts are now in: a minimum of 545 individual Grizzly bears were found. This is higher than anyone expected, showing that at the moment at least Grizzlies are faring better than polar bears. They must also keeping away from humans for the most part to account for our low expectations, another good sign.
