Bear Tracks No. 6, Radio-Collars Removed & Grizzly Bear Capture Summary, Central Arctic NWT (GNWT, June 1999)
A newsletter documenting the removal of satellite and VHF radio-collars from barren-ground grizzly bears in the central Arctic NWT during spring 1999, and reporting on denning results, capture summaries, and bear movements from the first phase of the NWT Grizzly Bear Project (1995-1999). The study emphasizes the need for a population estimate to ensure proper management given concerns about mortality from hunting and habitat loss due to human development.
