CONTACTS FOR STATE AND FEDERAL MANAGEMENT AGENCIES
How can you help ensure that grizzly bears flourish? Speak up!
Talk to your friends and family, and make sure your representatives are making good decisions. By voicing your concerns — via social media or, better yet, directly to agencies or your elected officials — you send a message that you care about grizzlies and the wild places they live.
See this page for background on being an effective advocate and the most pressing challenges facing grizzlies.
