In this powerful episode of the Panoramic Outdoors Podcast, Sheldon welcomes Mark Hall from Wild Origins Canada to take a hard look at the growing crisis surrounding moose populations in Manitoba. What begins as a broad conversation on moose biology and behaviour quickly focuses in on a serious and complex issue: the sharp decline in moose numbers across key areas of the province.
Mark brings his years of experience in wildlife conservation and backcountry ecology to the table, helping unpack the layered challenges facing moose in Manitoba. Together, Sheldon and Mark discuss how habitat loss, increasing predation, and changing environmental conditions have collided with deeper social and political tensions around wildlife management.
At the heart of the conversation is the evolving relationship between Indigenous communities and the provincial government. Mark and Sheldon explore how treaty rights, conservation priorities, and differing management philosophies are intersecting—sometimes clashing—as all parties try to protect what remains of Manitoba’s moose populations. It's a difficult but necessary conversation, and one that demands attention from anyone who cares about the future of wildlife in Canada.
This episode doesn’t offer easy answers, but it does shine a light on the critical need for collaboration, respect for Indigenous knowledge systems, and science-based decision-making. Whether you’re a hunter, a conservationist, or someone who simply values the wild places of Manitoba, this episode will leave you with a lot to think about.
