What Defenders Is Doing to Help Grizzly Bears

Defenders of Wildlife is a leader in working with communities to prevent conflicts, including offering a variety of resources, like installing electric fences around livestock and providing bear-resistant garbage containers.  In addition, we have created the Grizzly Compensation Trust to help compensate ranchers for confirmed and probable losses due to grizzly bear predation, which helps promote tolerance for grizzlies among the ranching community.

Defenders in Action
Bears die when they get into trouble with people’s garbage, livestock, when they are hit by cars and trains or illegally killed. By preventing these conflicts we can keep bears alive and on the road to recovery.
