  • Recovery Plan for Grizzly Bears in the North Cascades of British Columbia
    RECOVERY PLAN FOR GRIZZLY BEARS IN THE NORTH CASCADES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA June 1, 2004 North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Team EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The North Cascades area contains one of the most imperiled grizzly bear populations in British Columbia with an estimate of fewer than 25 animals remaining in an area of 9 807 km2. This population has been designated as “Threatened” under the provincial Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy and is shared with Washington State where it is listed as “Threatened” under the United States’ federal Endangered Species Act. The primary factors that are believed to have caused the decline of the North Cascades grizzly bear population date back to the mid-19th century when there were high numbers of grizzly bears commercially trapped and destroyed through persecution and fear over potential conflicts. In the approximately 150 years since this population “bottleneck” the remnant population has not recovered. The recovery planning process has been initiated under the Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy to ensure that Threatened populations are not lost. Recovery plans are not land use plans. Existing or future approved strategic land use plans take precedence over recovery plans. Recovery plans are intended to be revised every five years based on any additional information available including the experience gained through Recovery Plan implementation. The goal of this Recovery Plan is to restore the North Cascades Grizzly Bear Population Unit to Viable status. The Recovery Plan includes the following objectives to achieve this goal: 1. Provide habitat of sufficient quantity and quality to support a Viable population. 2. Prevent population fragmentation and maintain genetic diversity.

Manning Park has significant conservation and recreation values that will continue to draw large numbers of tourists and residents, particularly from the southwestern part of the province. The park will be managed to protect its natural values and provide a range of all-season intensive and backcountry recreation opportunities on a long-term sustainable basis. Management emphasis will increasingly be on protecting conservation values. Much of the park’s recreation potential has been realized. Demand will continue to grow placing increasing pressure to expand facilities or to introduce new opportunities. Future expansion will be evaluated in terms of its environmental impact, sustainability and cost/benefit to the park and limited to that which has little impact on existing use and poses no serious threat to the conservation values.
