In 1848, California contained an estimated 10,000 grizzly bears: more than any current US state other than Alaska, and a ratio of 1 grizzly for every 11 people living in California at that time. By 1925, all of California's grizzlies had disappeared--relegated to the status of memories, mascots, and merchandise. In this lecture, I will discuss the history and possible reintroduction of grizzlies in California, based on more than 8 years of study by UCSB's California Grizzly Research Network.
