The National Grizzly Bear Education Initiative
The National Grizzly Bear Education Initiative is a unique education program supported by the Hunter Legacy 100 Fund, Sables, First for Wildlife Endowment, Bear Trust International, and Montana’s Outdoor Legacy Foundation. This initiative aspires to secure a place on the landscape for grizzly bears into the future by creating a well-informed public.
The initiative provides a comprehensive exploration of grizzly bears, including covering crucial topics such as the species conservation history and successful recovery, grizzly bear management, reducing grizzly-human conflict, and the role of hunting in grizzly bear conservation.
The initiative addresses these topics through the development of a 30-minute youth television program, four high school lesson plans, four 15-minute educational videos, and a one-hour documentary film featuring individuals who are directly affected by or engaged with issues related to grizzly bears.
Film appearances and contributing partners include:
