Our Mission
Save the Yellowstone Grizzly fights for the survival of grizzly bears in the lower 48 states.
Protection
Protect the grizzly’s status as threatened under federal law.
Promotion
Promote the use of climate change science in planning and conservation strategies.
Facilitation
Facilitate connectivity between grizzly populations.
Transformation
Transform state and federal bear management policies to reflect a more Indigenous perspective.
Collaboration
Education
Educate those who live and recreate in grizzly country on how to share the landscape.
What can you do?
Contact Interior Secretary Deb Haaland and urge her to uphold ESA protections for grizzlies. Points to stress:
The need to factor in the reality of climate change, and the subsequent loss of food sources and habitat, in all wildlife decisions;
The importance of considering Indigenous wisdom and viewpoints, and of including Native American voices in environmental policy;
The imperative to stop the states from ignoring federal legal protections when deciding to kill explorer bears. Without connectivity to other populations, the Yellowstone grizzlies are on borrowed time. There must be tolerance for explorer bears to roam.
The Status of Grizzly Bears
Grizzly bears living south of Canada currently are protected as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. However, despite the pressures of climate change, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, along with the state governments of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, has repeatedly pushed to remove these protections, and establish a trophy hunting season.

Bear Friendly Communities
We produce an ongoing series of road shows throughout the Northern Rockies depicting the work we are doing to protect grizzlies. We also partner with organizations to promote awareness and best practices.

Bear Management Transformation
We are working to encourage bear management practices that value the lives of individual grizzlies, so that people living and recreating in grizzly country are able to safely engage with bears when they encounter them in the wild.
