Despite over 65,000 petition signatures, 1,500 written comments, nearly 100 official submissions, and a dozen powerful public testimonies, the Alaska Board of Game voted 6-0 to reinstate the Mulchatna bear control program. This means aerial gunning of bears will continue, including moms and cubs, across 40,000 square miles — just 30 miles from Katmai National Park, one of the most vital bear ecosystems on Earth. The program is now expected to remain in place until 2028. Sad. Frustrating. Infuriating. A few people can cause massive harm, even when thousands raise their voices. But this is a setback, not the end. There’s already a new fight beginning, and I will need your support 🙏🐻 I stand with the bears and will continue to fight for them — for the balance they bring, the wildness they represent, and the future we still believe in. Huge thanks to @alaskawildlifealliance for standing strong and doing everything they could. Your leadership and courage continue to inspire. Let’s keep showing the world why these bears — and the wild places they call home — are worth fighting for. 🙏🐻 #Alaska #Katmai #BrownBears #SaveTheBears #WildlifeConservation #BearsOfInstagram #WildlifePhotography #NatureConservation #ConservationMatters #WildlifeProtection #BearPhotography #ExploreAlaska #ProtectWildlife #NatureLovers #WildlifePlanet #AlaskaWildlife #WildAlaska #BearGuide #Ecotourism #NatGeoWild #WildlifePerfection #BearWatching #ConservationPhotography #EarthFocus #NatureSeekers #natgeo #nationalgeographic #natgeowild #yourshotphotographer

It’s crazy how hard some humans will fight just to satisfy their need to pull triggers and end life. Sad times.

It breaks my heart to read this… How can such decisions still be made when so many voices are speaking out? Bears are not a threat — they are part of the balance, a powerful symbol of the wild. I fully stand with you in this fight. Every mother, every cub, every life deserves protection. The beauty of Alaska — of these still-wild lands — deserves better. Thank you for your strength, your courage, and for never giving up. Let’s keep fighting, keep raising our voices for those who can’t speak for themselves. 🙏🐻

So sad … speaking, informing and teaching are the only weapons we have … wldlife management it’s not easy but all the times man interfaces with … it’s worse than the natural way … maybe because it’s policy and human interest only …
