Abstract: The grizzly bear (Ursus arctos horribilis) once ranged throughout most of the Western United States. Excessive mortality and loss of suitable habitat resulted in a significant decline in the distribution and abundance of the grizzly. Today, an estimated 750 to 1,000 grizzlies occur in portions of Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, and Washington. This represents about 1 percent of the bear's historical range, and also about 1 percent of its original range. The Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee (IGBC), established in 1983, plays a major role in the conservation and management of the grizzly. ... The primary objective of the IGBC is to serve as the coordinating mechanism for research and management related to grizzly bear in the lower 48 States.
