An Update on Nakoda’s Letter Campaign & the Alberta Grizzly Bear Hunt
We’ve gathered nearly 2,500 letters in support of Nakoda. Our goal is to gather 1,000 letters each for Nakoda and her two cubs, who were tragically killed by vehicles on the Trans-Canada Highway in Yoho National Park—a known hotspot for grizzly bear vehicle collisions.
Vehicle strikes were the leading cause of human-induced grizzly bear deaths in Alberta between 2013-2022, with illegal killing close behind. The recent untimely reinstatement of the Alberta Grizzly Hunt, adds another 15 bears that would be killed in addition to these numbers, a number that we believe falls far below conservation standards.
By sending a letter or donating to the Protect Alberta Grizzly’s Project, you are endorsing the following changes that will make a positive difference:
Can we count on you to help us get 500 more letters signed and sent for Nakoda and keep this critical issue in the spotlight?

Exposed is happy to share that the installation of 10 new trail cameras in the MD of Bighorn, including locations like Lac Des Arc, Dead Man's Flats, Exshaw, and Harvey Heights is now complete! This addition brings our network to over 20 cameras across 6 communities in southern Alberta.
The installation, which took a full day in fantastic weather, was supported by 4 dedicated volunteers who will check on the cameras every 1-2 months. All cameras installed are securely housed in steel cases and clearly labeled for project transparency to trail users.
A big thank you to Tess Krause, Environment & Parks Supervisor from the Municipal District of Bighorn, who kindly joined us in Lac Des Arc, to provide insights on the area and camera placements. We look forward to sharing the incredible footage captured over the next year, featuring wildlife like cougars, bears, and deer.
In the meantime, check out our existing footage from the Village of Waiparous and the Back 40 on our YouTube page!
We stand firmly in the belief that harmonious coexistence is the key to longevity of wildlife. We are all connected and benefit from one another.
