The Yaak Valley in northwest Montana is home to an isolated population of approximately 24 grizzly bears. One of which, a female, was poached last fall. They still have not caught the poachers.

The Yaak Valley ancient old growth forest and grizzly bears are threatened by climate change, a national hiking trail, and the Black Ram logging project. The forest service has ignored these concerns and the voice of the indigenous.

Read the article, "Ancient Forest on Ancestral Land Poses Biden's Biggest Test Yet on Indigenous Rights, Climate Change and the Environment", by Rick Bass author and board member of Save the Yellowstone Grizzly and the Yaak Valley Forest Council.

These grizzlies need protection and connectivity with the grizzlies in the Yellowstone Ecosystem in order to survive.

We'll be closing the petition in the next couple of weeks and sending to President Biden and Secretary of the Interior Deb Halaand.

Thanks to all who have signed and shared. We truly appreciate your help in saving the Yaak Valley grizzlies.
