Grizzly Bears have been an endangered speices for a long time, since 1975 actually. The government has a protection programs all over the country for these elusive bears, and in places like Yellowstone National Park and and the Continental Divide region of Montana, it has been helping. But in the North Cascades, no one can decide whether to preserve these dangerous predators. Because their population tripled in the Rockies, they were even taken off the endangered list. But as of last year, they were put back on because of the dangers of the shifting climate of recently. Because these bears cannot thrive in the North Cascade, Washington, movements have been made to try and move them. but unforunatly, no one can raise the 1 million to 2 million dollars needed. There are even doubts as to if there are even any Grizzlies left in that area. People are conducting searches for these animals, and so far the tests have been that there are bears in the area but they have to wait for the DNA of them to tell if they are Grizzly or Black Bear. Most people think that because they're a predator and are liable to eat livestock and damage property that they shouldn't be saved or rescued. There are only six areas of designated land where the Grizzlies are supposed to make a comeback, yet there are people that think they should die out.
I think it's horrible the way these bears are treated. People are just doing this because bears do what they have to do to survive. I'm glad that some of these people are stepping up and thinking what this will do to the ecosystem and to the world in general if these bears die.
1)How long have Grizzly Bears been endangered?
2)What three places have the bears made a sucsessful comeback?
3)Do you think that people should try to help the Grizzlies make a comeback in the North Cascades?

Oh my gosh, how sad. I can't bellieve that some people are willing to let them die out because the might eat livestock! it's really depressing knowing that they might become extinct, and there will be people to blame.

1. They have been endangered since 1975.
2. Yellowatone National Park, the Contenintal Divide, and the Rocky Mountains.
3. I believe that people should try to help the Grizzlies make a comeback. They are part of the beauty of nature, and just because they eat livestock/meat does not mean people should let them die out.
Wow! I had no idea that the bears were on the endangered species list. It is very sad that people are killing these beautiful creatures. What I think they should do is they sould catch them and then let them go somewhere safe. Also they should make areas where the bears can just live. This could be a place where no humans are that way we will not be distubing them.

3. Yes. because they are a part of the food chain and if we kill one thing then the rest will be effected.
Like Lauren said i had no idea that grizzlie bears were endangered. I always thought that since they were big time predators that they werent even close to being extinct. I think its cruel that opeople would want to kill them only because there predators when us our selves are huge predators against all kinds of animals. I hope they find a way to preserve these beautiful creatures.

heres another bog i found about other endagered animals
I think that the grizzly’s bears are important to the ecosystem because they are on the top of the food chain. They are aggressive and can cause a human safety risk issues. One way to keep the risk down is to keep the population of the bear under careful watch. Also, to make sure their habitat can support them.
