Very soon you can put on your headphones and enter the world of grizzlies and hear stories from people who are on the front-lines of conservation.

Nicolas Scapillati, executive director of Grizzly Bear Foundation, a Vancouver based non-profit, is excited to bring grizzly stories to people鈥檚 living rooms through his podcast series, GrizzCast which will be aired on July 6.

As a grizzly advocate, Scapillati has always propagated awareness and education as the foremost tool to conserving grizzlies and reducing wildlife conflict.

Scapillati travelled across North America and interviewed people involved in grizzly conservation.

For the seven-episode series, that will release on the first Monday of each month, he spoke with people from unique professional backgrounds.

鈥淵ou have scientists, hereditary chiefs, war correspondents, hunters turned conservationists, fishers and others who have such great stories,鈥� Scapillati said, and added, that these stories will 鈥渋nspire people鈥� to see how they can play a role in conservation.鈥�

While the colourful backgrounds and heartwarming interactions of the people add to well-researched informative pieces, the real stars of the show are the iconic grizzlies.

Scapillati said that people will be drawn in because the podcast is all about grizzlies.

鈥淭here鈥檚 so much people can learn about these animals that are so often misunderstood because people are afraid of it and don鈥檛 know how to live with it,鈥� said Scapillati.

With more grizzlies turning up at a lot of places where they鈥檝e historically never been before, these podcasts will be particularly helpful to 鈥渞e-frame鈥� human relationships with grizzlies.

There鈥檚 humour, adventure, excitement, and lots of information about the bears in each episode.

In the first episode, set in Yellowstone, Doug Peacock talks about the 鈥榟ealing power of grizzlies鈥� and how being around these 鈥渨onderful animals鈥� saved his life.

In another episode, a former hunting guide from Yukon, Phil Timpany, talks about the transformative journey that led him to become a bear conservationist.

Closer to Vancouver Island, hereditary chief Mike Willie talks about indigenous led conservation and the cultural significance of grizzlies to the First Nations.

Scapillati and Willie also talk about Mali the beloved grizzly who was shot near Broughton Archipelago after being relocated through historic joint efforts.

Episodes of GrizzCast will be available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Castbox, YouTube and iHeart Radio.
