Our Impact
Hope for grizzlies means hope for people. Now more than ever, we realize the importance of protecting planet earth to ensure the health and well-being of all living things, including ourselves. Protecting bears is one way we can effectively take action to restore our planet.
STATE OF THE GRIZZLY
IMPACT REPORTS
2024
In our 2024 State of the Grizzly report, we reflect on a year defined by strategy, systems, and structure. This was a year of building — from the development of our first-ever five-year strategic plan to the creation of new partnerships that are reshaping how British Columbia coexists with grizzly bears. We laid critical groundwork: convening expert panels, supporting Indigenous leadership, informing policy, and investing in the systems that will carry this work forward. With clarity of purpose and long-term vision, we are strengthening the foundation for lasting change — for grizzlies, for communities, and for the future we share.
2023
In our 2023 State of the Grizzly report, we reflect on a year shaped by the guiding principle of stewardship. Throughout 2023, our work was grounded in storytelling, collaboration, and a deepening commitment to reconciliation. These values informed how we continue to reimagine our relationship with grizzly bears, First Nations, and the lands we share. Together, we are nurturing a future rooted in care, respect, and reciprocity.
2020-2022
The State of the Grizzly report for 2020–2022 brings together three years of impact during a singular period in our shared history—the COVID-19 pandemic. Like so many others, we were profoundly affected. The challenges of those years tested the strength of our mission, but also revealed our capacity to adapt and endure in the face of uncertainty.
Through world leading research, support for Indigenous-led conservation and exceptional storytelling, the Grizzly Bear Foundation is making a profound impact and inspiring people worldwide to pay attention and deeply care for the welfare and conservation of the majestic grizzly bear. When founding the Grizzly Bear Foundation, Michael Audain, OBC OC, reflected that, “we have a species here that is unique and something that we need to pay attention to.”
