GRIZZLY BEAR RECOVERY EFFORTS IN THE CABINETRAAK ECOSYSTEM
Abstract: Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos honibilis) conservation in the CabinetIYaak grizzly bear ecosystem (CYE) is an example of intensive efforts with a small population of approximately 30 individuals. The ecosystem is located in northwest Montana and northern Idaho and encompasses more than 6,800 k...
