Today, several conservation organizations and grizzly bear proponents released their vision that bolsters support for a unified grizzly bear population within the Northern Rockies—offering a holistic framework for recovery, management, and sustainable coexistence between bears and people.

Titled “A New Vision for Grizzly Bear Recovery in the Northern Rockies,” the report from nine conservation groups provides a list of actions, policies, and practices to address human conflicts, and offers recommendations for improving and protecting grizzly bear habitat. The report also promotes stewardship and protection of private lands, ways to fix inadequate governance, and adapting grizzly bear recovery efforts to climate change.

The report identifies the following as major threats to grizzly bear survival and recovery:
