Kodiak Bears Thrive On Remote Island Refuge
Kodiak Island hosts 2000 to 2500 brown bears within the 1.8 million acre Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and about 500 more outside it. Hunting remains allowed with 130 bears shot annually. Refuge managers plan 73 percent wilderness designation to curb development while balancing human visitation and bear safety.
