Alberta’s Sustainable Resource Development web site provides in-depth information the characteristics, history, behaviour and management of black and grizzly bears in the province.

British Columbia Grizzly Bear Conservation Strategy
The province of British Columbia supports one of the largest populations of Black Bears (Ursus americanus) and the second largest population of Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos horribilus) in North America.

Polar Bears International
Polar bears are Canada's third bear species and live in the circumpolar north far from the mountain national parks. They likely evolved from an isolated population of grizzly bears 100,000 to 250,000 years ago in an area near Siberia, making them the most recent of the world's eight bear species. Polar bears and the Arctic ecosystem on which they rely, show there are no boundaries with respect to climate change.
