Episode 4: Helping Grizzly Bears

Get Where They Want to Go

In this episode:

Using cutting-edge mapping technology and tiny, digital grizzlies programmed to behave like real ones, bear specialist Dr. Sarah Sells and her team are able to make unprecedented predictions for the species. They can forecast the migration routes that expanding populations of grizzly bears will take and where they are likely to make their new homes. She and her team at the Montana Cooperative Research Unit (C.R.U) are conducting research that directly informs wildlife management decisions and improves the chances that grizzlies can continue returning to their former home ranges where they have been absent for more than one hundred years.
