How does salmon end up in the forest? š»
@thenatureeducator explains that when grizzly bears catch spawning salmon they carry them into nearby forests, where the uneaten remains decompose and release nutrients into the soil. Those nutrients help support trees, plants, insects, and riparian ecosystems. When grizzly bear populations declined because of unregulated hunting and habitat loss in the 1800s, that nutrient pathway weakened too, showing how the loss of one species can ripple across an entire habitat. As grizzly bear populations recover through habitat protection, research, monitoring, and public education, so does their role in supporting healthier, more connected ecosystems.
