Safety Guide
Wildlife viewing should never put wildlife or people at risk.
Wildlife viewing in Jasper should protect animals, visitors, traffic and the landscape.
The right mindset
Wildlife sightings are a privilege, not an attraction you can control. Keep distance, never feed animals, store food properly, and do not stop dangerously on roads.
Give spaceUse zoom, not your feet.
No feedingFed wildlife becomes unsafe wildlife.
Road safetyPull over only where safe and legal.
Content policy for the site
Jasper Journeys should avoid exact real-time predator pins or crowd-attracting wildlife reports. Wildlife information should educate and reduce risk.
Verify before wildlife-aware travel
Use current Parks Canada wildlife safety guidance, obey closures and never approach, feed or crowd wildlife. Conditions and animal activity can change without notice.
