We do need to take more…

We do need to take more action to address the declining bear population. I would like to see no hunting or trapping allowed at all to give these areas time to recover. There are so many human impacts to these wild spaces; the values of people who think they can continue to hunt freely at will, forever, simply just needs to adjust to the new reality that our wildlife and wild spaces cannot continue to cope with humanity's insatiable, selfish and destructive behaviors. We need to react to protect, not pander to tourists and people who don't care about the long term consequences. In reality, I doubt hunters and locals will respect any sort of moratorium on killing. It all seems hopeless.
