Alberta Wilderness Association joined Exposed Wildlife Conservancy and Grizzly Bear Foundation in writing to Danielle Smith (Premier of Alberta), Todd Loewen (Minister of Forestry and Parks), Grant Hunter (Minister of Environment and Protected Areas), and Andrew Boitchenko (Minister of Tourism and Sport), requesting a meeting to discuss our concerns with reopening a grizzly bear hunt in Alberta.

The full letter is available here.

We have spectacular wilderness in Alberta, much of it under some form of protection. Every square millimetre of it has had to be fought for - will always have to be fought for, forever and ever. The struggle to retain and repair wilderness is conducted not just by a few individuals, but by large numbers of committed people, from all walks of life, all working in various ways toward the same end. We need to be grateful to all of them.
