Alberta is currently facing a number of alarming wildlife management issues including the Trapper's Association wolf killing contest, the removal of trapping limits for Wolverines, Canada Lynx and more, and the re-introduction of grizzly bear hunting.

Grizzlies like the The Boss Could Find Themselves in the Crosshairs of Alberta Hunters this Spring

Alberta banned grizzly bear hunting in 2006 and in 2010, grizzlies  were classified as Threatened in the province. But now new research is expected to show an increase in some Alberta grizzly bear populations and many suspect the UCP government will use this new data to reintroduce the trophy hunt. Please help Alberta’s grizzlies now with a donation to support this important project to raise public awareness.

Our Feature Campaigns

As special interest groups continue to push for trophy hunting of our apex predators regardless of science and societal values, EXPOSED is focused on two major campaigns this summer: the potential reintroduction of the grizzly bear trophy hunt in Alberta and the unethical practice of trophy hunting cougars with hounds. It's time for wildlife decisions to be based on science, not emotion. Please help give our apex predators their voice.

Protecting Alberta’s Grizzlies

After research in the early 2000s showed a struggling grizzly bear population in Alberta, the trophy hunt was banned and the grizzly bear was listed as Threatened species. Recent data released in March 2021 indicates that Alberta grizzlies are starting to rebound and the Environment Minister has gone on record suggesting that the province might bring back the hunt. This campaign, in conjunction with the Grizzly Bear Foundation, takes aim at this issue with a documentary titled, In the Crosshairs: The Road to Recovery for Alberta’s Threatened Grizzly Bears, which launches on Thursday, August 26th at 7:30 pm MST.

Protecting Canada's Big Cats

Africa's lions are revered around the world and we believe Canada's big cats deserve the same. Recent research indicates that cougars play an integral role in our provinces as ecosystem engineers, helping to shape the landscape for everything below them in the food chain. Yet cougars, lynx and bobcats are all still hunted with hounds throughout Western Canada. Your support now will help us develop our campaign protecting Canada's big cats and produce our first documentary about how these beautiful felines are hunted for trophies.

Cougar Coexistence Project

As humans continue to increasingly share space with cougars through living or recreating in their habitats, chances of interacting with cougars are also increasing. Currently, Alberta manages cougars through hunting. We propose developing and implementing a cougar-focused educational program that will dispel myths, increase tolerance for this important apex predator, and provide methods to reduce conflicts before they happen.

Trapped in the Past

Hundreds of thousands of scientifically proven to be inhumane snares and other styles of traps are set legally across the Canadian wilderness every winter to catch, hold, and kill fur-bearing animals like wolves and lynx. In partnership with The Fur-Bearers, our campaign takes aim at the outdated and inhuman practices of Canada's trapping industry with a hard-hitting, eye-opening investigative documentary, Trapped in the Past: Does Canada’s Trapping Industry Need Change?

Through (our) Wild Eyes

The EXPOSED Wildlife Conservancy is focused on two major campaigns right now: the questionable regulations and practices of Canada’s trapping industry with a special focus on the continued use of killing neck snares to manage our wolves and other fur-bearing animals; and, the potential reintroduction of the grizzly bear trophy hunt in Alberta. It's time for wildlife decisions to be based on wildlife management that is for the entire public and that is grounded in science, ethics and animal welfare concerns. Please help give our apex predators their voice.

Heading

Our Vison

The Exposed Wildlife Conservancy will become a recognized leader in wildlife advocacy for apex predators in Western Canada, specifically Cougars, Grizzly Bears, and Wolves. We want the public, government, business, and media to seek out and rely on EWC as a nonpartisan expert advisor on apex predators.

Our Programs

Policy Change

We believe wildlife deserves more than protection. It deserves representation. We are committed to reshaping how Canada views and manages apex predators. We advocate for policy grounded in science, ethics, and ecological integrity, guided by the belief that wildlife is not a resource to be exploited, but a living part of ecosystems.

Policy Change

Community Trail Cameras

Camera traps, or “trail cameras,” are motion-triggered devices that allow us to observe wildlife without interference. By capturing candid images and videos, they reveal hidden aspects of animal behavior and help us better understand the species we advocate for: cougars, grizzly bears, and wolves.

Trail Cameras

Wildlife Safe Passages

Apex predators need connected, low-conflict landscapes to survive. In the Interior of BC and Western Alberta, highways, towns, rail lines, and resource roads slice through the very valley bottoms predators rely on to move, hunt, find mates, and maintain healthy gene flow. When movement is blocked, conflict rises, and populations fracture.

Safe Passages

Trapped in the Past

This campaign is especially focused on significantly improving rules and regulations for trapping large predators like wolves, coyotes, lynx, bobcats, and wolverines. The ultimate goal is to make trapping more humane and in line with modern animal welfare and environmental standards.
