The National Park Service has banned hunters from using bait for brown bears and black bears in Alaska, effective July 2024. The ban applies to all NPS-managed preserves in the state, based on a final rule that amends its 2020 regulation for sport hunting and trapping in Alaska national preserves. The new rule, which applies only to sport hunting, prohibits bear baiting due to significant public safety concerns. The final rule reflects extensive engagement with stakeholders, Alaska Native tribes and corporations, local and state leaders and the public.“The amended rule will advance wildlife conservation goals and objectives, including a prohibition on bear baiting in our national preserves, as mandated under the NPS Organic Act of 1916,” NPS Alaska Regional Director Sarah Creachbaum said. “We take our responsibilities under ANILCA seriously and the new rule reflects our commitment to providing conscientious service to the American public.” In February 2022, the NPS initiated rulemaking to reconsider the 2020 regulation after early engagement with Alaska Native tribes and Alaska Native corporations. Later that year, a Federal District judge remanded the 2020 regulation back to NPS to address the court’s decision that the 2020 rule violated NPS laws and policies in some respects. The new rule addresses the court’s concerns and is more consistent with NPS obligations to manage for natural processes, protect wildlife and promote visitor safety. NPS accomplished this by focusing the rule to address urgent public safety dangers posed by bear baiting, which had been authorized by the 2020 rule.Bear baiting encourages bears to become conditioned to human-provided food, increasing the likelihood of negative human-bear interactions. The final rule also affirms the federal government’s role in wildlife management on Alaska national preserves, consistent with the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA) and does not affect activities by qualified federal subsistence users.

HELENA – Montana Fish, Wildlife & Parks released a new online tool today that provides the public with up-to-date information on known grizzly bear mortalities across the state. The Grizzly Bear Mortality Dashboard displays mortality information, including the various factors that contribute to grizzly bear deaths in Montana, outside of Tribal lands. By increasing transparency and providing accessible information, FWP aims to educate communities and foster a better understanding of the circumstances that often lead to bear mortalities. “Tracking grizzly bear mortality is a key metric when we look at bear management,” said FWP Chief of Conservation Policy Quentin Kujala. “This dashboard allows us to be transparent with the public on what kinds of mortality we’re seeing and what the causes are. It will also help reinforce our consistent message of securing attractants and being bear aware to avoid conflicts.” Grizzly bears in Montana are currently listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). However, Montana has petitioned to remove ESA protections from bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem (NCDE) and has supported Wyoming in petitioning to remove ESA protections from bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). Montana is also home to four grizzly bear recovery zones including the NCDE, GYE, the Bitterroot Ecosystem and the Cabinet-Yaak Ecosystem. Between Montana’s portion of all four recovery zones and other areas where grizzly bears have established populations, FWP estimates that about 2,000 grizzly bears are in Montana, though a precise number is difficult to estimate. In recent years Montana has established a framework of statutes, regulations, rules and a new management plan that give clarity on exactly how grizzly bears would be managed in the state when ESA protections are removed. FWP has also recently relocated two bears from the NCDE to the GYE, establishing genetic connectivity. These actions have addressed concerns raised by previous court decisions on delisting grizzly bears and provided clarity on what grizzly bear management would look like under state management. A key piece of Montana’s management would be accurately estimating grizzly bear populations from year to year. One of the data points critical to this estimate is mortalities. “We know the public is interested and passionate about grizzly bears and their management,” Kujala said. “This dashboard lets them see what’s happening with bear mortalities on a daily basis.” The Grizzly Bear Mortality Dashboard will update daily at 1 p.m. The dashboard will reset to the new year in January, but data from previous years will be available through FWP’s Grizzly Bear Management webpage.
