Nakoda, a rare white grizzly bear, and her cubs tragically lost their lives in separate car crashes in Yoho National Park, British Columbia. The cubs were struck by a vehicle, and Nakoda herself was later hit between the Lake O’Hara access road and Wapta Lake. The dedicated Parks Canada team, who had been tracking Nakoda for years, expressed deep sadness over this devastating outcome. Efforts to prevent such incidents and raise highway awareness remain crucial for wildlife conservation.
