Governor proclaims September Bear Aware Month

As grizzly bear populations and
distribution increase across Montana,
it’s more important than ever to be
bear aware. Currently, grizzly bears
can be found in all of Montana west
of Billings. To encourage residents
and nonresidents to be vigilant about
the presence of bears.
Grizzly bear numbers continue
to increase, and grizzlies are
becoming more widespread in
Montana, increasing the likelihood
that residents and recreationists will
encounter them in more places each
year. Bears also become more active
in late summer and fall as they spend
more time eating in preparation for
hibernation.
There are four grizzly recovery
zones partially or completely within

Bear Aware Month continued
Montana:
• The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (in parts of
southwestern Montana, northwestern Wyoming and
eastern Idaho
• The Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (in
northwestern Montana) grizzly bear population has
increased from approximately less than 400 bears
in 1975 to approximately 1,100 and has reached
population recovery goals.
• The Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem (in portions of
northwestern Montana and northern Idaho)
• The Bitterroot Ecosystem (in western Montana and
northern Idaho).
In the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, which
covers parts of southwestern Montana, northwestern
Wyoming and eastern Idaho, the grizzly bear population
has increased from fewer than 200 bears in 1980 to
approximately 1,000 and has reached population
recovery goals. In the Northern Continental Divide
Ecosystem, grizzly bear population has increased from
fewer than 400 bears in 1975 to approximately 1,100 and
has reached population recovery goals. The Cabinet-
Yaak Ecosystem, with an estimated 55 bears, and the
Bitterroot Ecosystem, with no known bears, have not yet
met population recovery goals.
“Grizzly bear recovery in the Greater Yellowstone
Area and Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem is a
major conservation success story,” said FWP Director
Dustin Temple. “Working with the public and landowners
to avoid conflict is a top priority and an critical part of
bear management in Montana.”
Grizzly bears in the lower 48 states are listed
as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
Management authority for grizzlies rests with the U.S.
Fish & Wildlife Service, working closely in Montana with
FWP, the Forest Service, the National Park Service, the
Bureau of Land Management, the U.S. Geological Survey,
Wildlife Services and Native American tribes. This
collaboration happens through the Interagency Grizzly
Bear Committee.
Did you know?
Despite their large size, grizzly bears can move fast.
The large hump on their shoulders powers their fast-
moving front legs. They can easily hit the speed of 30
miles per hour! And that’s why it is a good thing to be
able to outrun your hiking partner.
