The current estimate of the grizzly bear population on provincial lands in Alberta is 691, and up to 16,000 in British Columbia. Within the four contiguous Rocky Mountain national parks, population estimates are:
  • Banff National Park: 65
  • Jasper National Park: 109
  • Yoho National Park: 11-15
  • Kootenay National Park: 9-16

A very general population estimate suggests there may be up to 600,000 black bears in North America and more than 380,000 in Canada. Due to their relatively robust numbers, black bears are not a Species at Risk in Canada.

Within the four contiguous Rocky Mountain national parks, population estimates are:

  • Banff National Park: 20-40
  • Jasper National Park: 90
  • Yoho National Park: 20-50
  • Kootenay National Park: 30-50

The province's grizzly bear monitoring project has shown there are more bears in southwestern Alberta than previously thought.
