2015 Grizzly Bear Management Plan for America (GBA)

Safety, Conservation, Integrity

January 2015

Synopsis

1) The 2015 Grizzly Bear Management Plan for America (GBA) is based on research of the 2007 Conservation Strategy - but with revision. The GBA Plan places higher value on public safety - while permanently establishing remote conservation areas to ensure sustained populations of GB.

2) Grizzly Bear (GB) long term survival is supported to a high degree of probability by 500 in the GYA recovery zone, 700 in the NCDE recovery zone, and 100 in the Cabinet Yaak - designated as permanent conservation areas in the GBA Plan.

3) Genetic diversity needs are met by artificial transplantation - moving just a few bears every year or so from the GYA to NCDE or vice versa - a small requirement. It is not necessary populations expand and connect.

4) Unnecessary expansion of GB results in more terror, death, and injury to people, livestock losses, and property damage.

5) The GBA Plan - not taking sides with ecologist or cattle interests - holds high standards of integrity in the proper consideration of public safety. GB Statistics including danger at the Yellowstone Park Visitor Center - do not reflect risk and consequences rural and backcountry where GB are present. Those without considerable experience may not have a sobering grasp of GB destructive power and greater incidence of attacks compared to other predators of equal number.

6) Spreading the most dangerous species on the continent - to which there is no effective precaution to ensure safety - involves death and injury to people - the opposite of love - and does not address greater environmental concerns.

7) With 1 billion people added to World population in 15 years - 4.4 billion 1960/2015 - 3 to 7.4 billion in just 55 years (Worldometers 2015) - taught that unrestrained growth, consumption, and combustion fueled activity is okay -  the environment will not support billions of people taking a 4000 lb machine everywhere they go - recognized is a need for Impossibly Good City Design - to slow down, walk more, change to zero emission vehicles, turn down thermostats, reduce population and consumption - using good moral judgement to protect a supporting environment.

8) Safety, conservation, integrity - GBA - The Grizzly Bear Management Plan for America.
