This powerful 37-minute documentary follows the path and challenges of the “explorer bear,” the pioneering young male grizzlies that come from small, isolated core populations. The grizzly bear needs to explore and pioneer new habitats to spread its gene pool, and its long journeys are increasingly driven–and hemmed in–by the ravages of climate change.

Our new film The Return of the Grizzly is about the novel ground zero initiatives underway to save the species, including a planned system of under- and overpasses designed to give “that male bear, that explorer bear, that innovative bear, the bear with culture and genes for linkage,” the opportunity to connect isolated populations before they are all “snuffed out, traits lost.” (Barry Gilbert).
