Description

40 Years: GYC’s Legacy of Grizzly Bear Conservation Webinar

Join GYC’s Wildlife Conservation Coordinator Brooke Shifrin on Tuesday, March 21 at 4 pm MT for a deep dive into our grizzly bear conservation work over the past four decades.

There is perhaps no more powerful symbol of the wild nature found in Greater Yellowstone than the grizzly bear. Grizzlies are the icon of Greater Yellowstone and a remarkable conservation success story. After decades of persistent efforts by many people to restore this magnificent species from the brink of extinction, they are expanding their range to places they haven’t been seen in generations. Learn about the past and what we are doing today to ensure a healthy, connected grizzly bear population now and in the future.

Brooke will walk us through the history of grizzly bears in Yellowstone, how various efforts over the past forty years helped return Yellowstone grizzly bears from the brink of extinction, and what lies ahead to ensure this population of bears persists well into the future.
