Success of Grizzly Bear Population Augmentation in Northwest Montana
Abstract: Augmentation of large carnivore populations can be a valuable management and recovery tool, but success of many programs has not been well documented. The Cabinet—Yaak grizzly bear ( Ursus arctos ) population was located in northwestern Montana and northern Idaho, USA, and was estimated at...
