## Resource

Alaskas Controversial Bear Cull: A Battle Over Caribou Population Control The Alaska Department of Fish and Game is set to cull dozens of brown bears, including cubs, across a vast area in Southwest Alaska. This decision is part of a plan to boost the Mulchatna caribou herd, with the state aiming for a population between 30,000 and 80,000 animals. However, critics argue that the plan overlooks the impact of poor nutrition on caribou and lacks solid scientific data. A bill to mandate independent peer reviews for such plans was shelved, leaving bears facing the chop without proper scientific backing.
