Welcome to GrizzCast Dispatches — short-format, real-time episodes on urgent grizzly bear conservation stories.
In our first Dispatch series, host Nicholas Scapillati investigates the remarkable journey of Tex — a young male grizzly bear who swam across the Salish Sea and arrived on Texada Island. His presence has sparked debate, concern, and Indigenous-led calls for a new model of coexistence.
In this episode, we are joined by BC Conservation Officer Sergeant Dean Miller to talk about grizzly bears returning to parts of Southwest BC, including the Sunshine Coast, and what this means for communities and conservation. We dive into on-the-ground details of Tex’s story, offering insight into the role of the Conservation Officer Service, how decisions like relocations are made, and the importance of public awareness, shared responsibilities, and partnerships — including with the shíshálh Nation — as people adapt to living with grizzlies returning to new and old ground.

Dispatch #2 features renowned bear biologist, independent research scientist, and human-bear conflict expert Dr. Lana Ciarniello. Drawing on her deep knowledge of grizzly bear biology and behaviour, we explore why grizzlies are on the move, the difference between relocation and translocation, and practical advice for Texada Island residents on how to live safely with grizzly bears.
