One for the diary: Charlie Russell, the iconic bear expert who spent several years working with grizzly bears in Kamchatka in Russia, will be showing his outstanding documentary East of Eden at the Capitol Theatre in Nelson on October 8th at 7.00pm. He will be available for questions after the movie.
On another note: Garth Mowat of the Ministry of Environment in Nelson has finally agreed to meet those of us who are opposed to his plan to extend the Kootenay grizzly hunt, on Sept 22nd.
He maintains that the hunting extension will be good for grizzly conservation.
We have consulted three eminent grizzly bear biologists: one concludes that all hunting is bad for grizzly bear conservation, one that the extension of the hunt will harm grizzly conservation, and one is not sure. Scientific opinion seems stacked against Mr Mowat but we will listen carefully to what he has to say.
