A Pragmatic Approach to Grizzly Bear Conservation
Progress in grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos horribilis ) conservation in the Rocky Mountains of Canada and the United States is urgently needed. Human‐caused mortality is the appropriate focal point for understanding the problem. This issue has a number of dimensions, but the human dimensions are by far...
