Greshus Arctos Horbilis is an American West icon. Historically, they were close to 50,000 and extends from Canada to Mexico and California to Kansas. As European settlers arrived in the West in the 19th century and made a way for industry and agriculture, more hunting on these bears, the destruction of the poison and the destruction of the residence had negative effects.
By the 1970s, the number of Grezle Bear had decreased, and the population with the last stronghold of species in the Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks had decreased by 2% of their historic range. Due to the rapidly declining population and the destruction of the residence, the Grezle Bears were registered in 1975 under a dangerous species.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service is responsible for the management and monitoring of the population of the Griezley bear in the lower 48 states. A Grezley Beer Recovery Plan, built in 1993, identified six maintenance ecosystem: North Cascoids, Selkark, Cabinet, Butterroot, Northern Continental Divids and Greater Yellow Stone.
Today, the Northern Continental Divids and the Greater Yellow Stone Eco System have about 1,000 bear. Bitterroot and North Cascades Eco Systems do not have a viable Grysile Bear population and is far from Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak population rehabilitation goals.

Over the past 30 years, our scenario has changed significantly. More people are living in areas, entertaining and working, which is overlap with the Griezley bear’s residence. Grezley Bear, while some are starting to occupy parts of their historical habitat outside some restorative areas, they are still missing in others. It is important to understand the complex history of the Greysley Bear protection, the controversial debate on management and the complex story of the species rehabilitation because we advocate a bright future with the grazel bears.
Griezley Bears’ timeline in the lower 48 states
1800: In the lower 48, there were an estimated 50,000 grassal bears.
1890: Almost year of the last grazing bear in Texas.
1922: The last famous Griezley bear in California was shot in the mountains of Sierra Nevada.
1923: The last time the Grezle Bear was reported in Utah.
1931: The last time the Grezle Bear was reported in Oregon.

1933: The last report of a Grezle Bear was reported in New Mexico.
1935: It was believed that the Grezley bear had ended in Arizona.
1975: The lower 48 had less than 1,000 Grezle Bears. Gresh bears were listed as a threat to the ESA due to low numbers and new roads, illegal hunting and increased human access.
1983: The Inter Agency Griezley Beer Committee has been constituted to integrate rehabilitation efforts.
1990: The “Increased Program” Cabinet Yak Eco system was launched to strengthen the population by transferring the Grezly Bears from SE British Columbia and then in the aftermath, from the Northern Continental Divide Eco system.
1993: The FWS updated the 1982 Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan, which established six rehabilitation environmental systems for management and identified San Joons as the need for further diagnosis.

1997: FWS published the North Cascoids Eco System (Washington State) Recovery Plan Chapter.
2000-2001: The FWS finalized the plan to re -introduce the grazelian bears in the Butterroot Eco System, but Secretary of Interior Norton stopped the project a year later.
2005-2007: The FWS proposed to be dedicated to the Greater Yellow Stone Eco System Griezley Bears due to population growth. The population was delisted two years later.
2009: Federal reservations for Greater Yellow Stone Eco System Richas were restored by a federal judge in Montana.
2011: For the first time in more than 50 years, the North Cascoids Gurzali Bear was photographed.
2014-2015: Federal efforts began to re -introduce the Greysley Bears in the North Cascoids, starting the environmental analysis and public input process. More than 3,000 public comments were submitted to federal projects in support of this re -introduction.

2016: A historic agreement was signed by more than 200 US and Canadian tribal groups, advocating for the protection of Greysley Bears and condemning the trophy hunting.
2017: Interior Secretary Zinc announces the removal of the Grazley bears in the Yellowstone area, in which the population of the bears reached 700. Protection groups and tribes filed a lawsuit citing concerns about environmental impact.
2018: The district court restored the bears of the Yellow Stone area to the list of dangerous species, citing concerns about the impact of removing the Greater Yellow Stone Eco system from the rest of the population, the population for the mortality limit. The need for rehabilitation methods for estimation and lack of analysis around. Genetic health.
2019: The Trump administration formally appealed against the decision that restored the reservations to the bears in the Yellowstone area.
2020: The ninth circuit court upheld the reservations of the Yellowstone Gerzali Bears.
2022: FWS received requests for removal from the list of bears in different areas of Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
2023: The FWS responded to the requests and denied Idaho but started reviewing the status of Greater Yellow Stone and the Northern Continental Deved Eco System in response to the requests of Vyoming and Montana, respectively. The FWS and the National Park Service have also issued a draft plan that proposes to re -introduce the Grezly Bears in the North Caskyads Eco system.

2024: Montana transferred two graziel bears from the Northern Count Nentile Divide Eco System to the Greater Yellow Stone Eco system in an attempt to enhance genetic diversity in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. The FWS announced a period of public comments to consider the options to restore the Greshian bears in the Bitterroot Environmental System. The FWS and NPS also issued a record of the decision to actively restore the Greysal Bears in the North Caskads Eco System. Finally, a settlement agreement has been reached in which the FWS needs to be reviewed how Gerzley beers have been listed in the lower 48 by January 31, 2026.
2025: In response to Montana and Woming requests, the FWS decided that the Northern Continental Divids and the Greater Yellow Stone Eco system have no basis for dealing the grazing bears.
Working to save and move on to Greesley Beer recovery
With the capture of the Trump administration, the guards are expected to stir in new policy decisions. This will be a difficult time, but we will be steadfast in our advocacy efforts, commitment to coexistence, and in the field to prevent our disputes in the field. Follow the guards to get the latest Griezley beer news and hear more about our work.
