Mount Revelstoke has a great diversity of eco-systems for its small size, from the old growth rainforest to the high alpine and abundant glaciers. Mount Revelstoke's alpine ecosystem provides habitat for caribou, bears, wolverines and Bighorn sheep. The park has a close relationship to the people of the nearby town of Revelstoke. In recent years they have devised a bear awareness program which has greatly reduced the number of bear mortalities.
