This week, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) announced the allocation of $250,000 to help Montana livestock producers manage grizzly bears. The funds are earmarked specifically for the lethal and non-lethal removal of bears involved in livestock depredation and will be available for 2021, KPVI News reports.
“The Trump Administration has prioritized implementing practices to address issues impacting private landowners and the livestock industry,” said FWS Director Aurelia Skipwith. “U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proud to work alongside the USDA to address grizzly bear livestock depredations in Montana. Partnerships like this allow us to further grizzly bear conservation.”
