Questions and Answers about
Grizzly Bear Population Augmentation
Introduction:
Small populations of grizzly bears face demographic challenges as well as genetic issues associated with isolation or very limited gene pools.

Grizzly bear augmentation can be a contentious public issue due to concerns about human safety and the effects of a recovering population on local economies and recreation. Developing a strategy for increasing understanding and acceptance of grizzly bear population augmentation is a goal of the Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC).
