Despite a hunting ban since 2006 (with Indigenous exceptions), authorized hunters are now stepping in to manage conflict, with officials calling it a science-based, safety-focused strategy that still supports recovery goals. The province insists human-caused deaths remain low — under 3.5% of the population since 2010 — and none of the removed bears are seen as impeding conservation. Yet critics question the scale of removals in southwestern Alberta, where bear density is highest and human-bear overlap is intense, especially around ranches. Experts agree coexistence is key, but lethal removal remains a necessary tool in areas where conflict is unavoidable.
