White Grizzly Bear killed on the Trans Canada Highway.

[Catherine]

Bear 178 or Nakota was killed on the Trans Canada Highway, in Yoho National Park the day after her two cubs were killed on the highway.
Parks Canada has been actively managing Bear 178 for two years. She first appeared in 2022 with a light coloured sister who was struck and killed on the highway. Bear 178 was fitted with a GPS collar and has twice been moved from the highway, but she kept returning.
She was the hope of the Banff grizzly population and her death is a serious loss. Six breeding females have been killed in the last four years so the whole Banff grizzly population is in trouble.

It is clear that the highway is deadly to grizzly bears. They need to build a tunnel or over pass for the bears. Reducing speed limits might help.
It could increase the chance of a bear surviving being struck. We have put the highway through their territory so we need to make the changes. 
This kind of carnage is unsustainable. Maybe the road needs to be restricted. If there is a time of day the bears are on the road, the road could be closed at that time. GPS collars track the bears. If a bear is on the road an alert could be sent to drivers.
Something needs to be done while there are still bears to protect. Losing a bear and her cubs is just too sad. We can't let this go on.
