Human activities are responsible for the deaths of over 6,000 grizzly bears per year through gun shootings. Only 1,500 grizzly bears remain in the lower 48 US states. The document recommends building infrastructures at least 1,000 miles away from wildlife preserves to protect grizzly bears, as oil and gas development, recreational activities, grazing, poaching, and timber harvesting have threatened the grizzly bear population.

bear deaths a year!
95% of grizzly bears who
live past age 2 in North

Solution: Building of Infrastructures
should be at least 1,000 miles away
from any and all wildlife preserves.
Oil and gas development,
recreational development,
improper livestock grazing,
poaching, excessive roaded

timber harvest are factors
responsible for the grizzlies’
