About the Grizzly Bear
How to stop the Grizzly Bear from becoming extinct.
Stop buying bear rugs and destroying their homes for more buildings!
Stop letting the major corporations take over and tear down trees for their construction, donate to foundations that protect areas with high Grizzly bear population
We could also ban the Black Bear from being hunted, which could stop the Grizzly Bear from being hunted by accident.
The Grizzly Bear habitat
Roaming the North American continent for the past million years, the grizzly bear has managed to outlive both the saber-toothed tiger and the mastodon.
As major targets of human hunters, however, the tens of thousands of grizzlies that once inhabited the Great Plains and the Rockies and Sierras of the American West have been reduced to a fraction of their former numbers.
Today, most grizzlies live in Alaska and Canada. Probably fewer than a thousand remain in the 48 contiguous states, and those bears are found almost exclusively in some 10 million acres of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
