1 Rural Communities, Bears & Wolves A Rangeland Perspective Setting the Stage: The Current Situation Presented to the Society for Range Management International Mountain Section October 22, 2009 Pincher Creek, Alberta Jim Pissot Canada Field Representative
2 Thank you! Society for Range Management International Mountain Section Rocky Mountain Forest Range Association, Alberta Alberta Sustainable Resource Development
3 Why do people come to Alberta? Banff & Mountain Parks Calgary Stampede & Canada s west Drumheller dinosaurs Ski hills & Olympic champions Tar sands Foothills grasslands Wildlife
4 What s special about community well-being or wildlife management in Alberta? Are we making headlines? What s outstanding? Lessons for others? Models or examples? Leadership?
5 What s special about Rural Communities, Bears and Wolves in Alberta? Making headlines? What s outstanding? Lessons for others? Models or examples?
6 There is an Alberta Advantage Cows & Fish DNA-based grizzly inventory (FRI) Resilient communities Eastern Slopes Grizzly Bear Study BearSmart Programs Wildlife corridors and crossings Stakeholder roundtable solutions Dearth of contentious lawyers Swift fox Burrowing owl Carbon capture & storage?
7 HUGE Alberta Dis-Advantage Profits to the province Communities left on their own (Fort McMurray..) No grizzly recovery No caribou recovery We re consulted at 400 wolves killed to recover caribou Aerial gunning & strychnine Wildlife management in secret 12 black bears killed at Conklin dump Un-applied research
8 Does this mean we Albertans have little to brag about in The Current Situation?
9 Who has a home on the Range?
10 Communities People - tradition and history Resource industries Jobs Costs Recreation Traffic Wildlife: Benefits & Costs Support? Sustainability?
11 Ranchers Variable markets International dynamics Losses: larkspur, injuries, sickness, rustling BSE Predation Inadequate compensation Benefits of crown grazing lands (50%)
12 Wolves
13 Provincial Wolf Policy Maintain a viable wolf population. Allocate annual wolf harvest. Minimize property damage from wolves. Increase knowledge of wolves. Manage wolves to enhance other wildlife. SW Alberta ~ 50 wolves for transboundary/u.s. Ranchers compensated for losses.
14 The wolf population is an important part of Alberta s wilderness and ecosystems and should be protected. 81% of Albertans agree
15 Carnivore Advisory Group Alberta Beef Producers Alberta Fish and Wildlife Division Alberta Community Development Canada Southern Alberta Conservation Cooperative MD of Ranchlands Alberta Trappers Association
16 Results of Collaborative Effort Wolves radio collared, monitored, reported Den and rendezvous sites identified Confirmed specific packs in areas Observed role of grizzlies Confirmed depredations Applied non-lethal deterrents Intercepted wolves; prevented depredations Implemented stepwise lethal response Reported to ranchers; assisted in response Helped monitor and move cattle Demonstrated collaborative potential
17 More recently Drywood-Yarrow, etc. Fish & Wildlife: 1 on 1 conversations Defenders: carcass removal project MD Ranchlands University projects Petro-Canada has united us on habitat LOST: stakeholder roundtables & communication
18 Petro-Canada-Sullivan
19 Petro-Canada Sour Gas Proposal Heritage ranching landscape Grizzly core area Roadless Relatively undisturbed Land Use Framework? Water for Life? OHV recreation or abuse?
20 Grizzlies
21 People and grizzlies can coexist.
22
23 Where will we draw the line?
24 Alberta s grizzlies Long lived Late maturity & slow reproduction Marginal habitat in protected parks Road density leads to mortality Hunting & other human-caused mortality
25 What has been done? Hunt suspended DNA-based population assessment 581 bears (better North and South) Recovery Plan accepted but BearSmart run up the flagpole Research & mapping (unapplied research) Identification of core and secondary habitat Launch access management discussions Mortality database
26 What is missing? No demonstrated commitment to recover grizzlies No interim protection No dedicated budget for grizzly recovery No target population number No provisions for entire grizzly range No recovery team No threatened or endangered status
27 Grizzly recovery No habitat protected known human-cause mortalities 18 grizzlies relocated (2008) Recovery Plan final accepted but Recovery Team disbanded Core area maps released Working group brainstorms access management Leasing & motorized recreation contnue
28 So.?????? Communities Grizzlies Wolves
29 What we COULD brag about Community support returned from province Sustainability investments BearSmart projects Ranching support Landscape & watershed protection World-class heritage landscape Fair compensation Wildlife conservation Grizzly recovery plan Predation risk reduction (pro-active, non-lethal)
30 Here s what is special about community well-being & wildlife management in Alberta! We are making headlines! Our success is outstanding! Alberta has lessons for others! Look at our models and examples! We re showing leadership!
