## Resource

California’s grizzly bear—gone since the 1920s—is back in the spotlight as tribes and environmentalists push for its reintroduction, backed by a new state bill requiring a full habitat and feasibility study. Supporters see it as an ecological restoration and moral correction, citing suitable regions like the north coast and Sierra Nevada that could support hundreds of bears. But ranchers, hunters, and rural residents warn of added risks amid existing pressures like drought, wildfires, and conflicts with wolves and mountain lions. The state’s already overburdened Department of Fish and Wildlife faces an uphill battle managing current wildlife issues, let alone a complex, high-stakes reintroduction. Meanwhile, a potential federal policy shift could return grizzly management to individual states, offering hope for more responsible stewardship—if California can navigate the controversy.
