The science has long proven that the grizzly bear population in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem has fully recovered, Daines said. Delisting the grizzly bear is in the best interest of our communities, public safety, the ecosystem, wildlife, and the grizzly bear itself. Montana has proven they can conserve and manage the species and it's time to return management to the state. At the hearing, Daines introduced witness and fellow Montanan Chuck Roady who is the Vice President and General Manager of the F.H. Stoltze Land and Lumber Company and the President of the Federal Forest Resource Coalition. At the hearing, Roady spoke in favor of Daines' bill, urging its passage. Senator Daines also sent a letter inviting U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Aurelia Skipwith to Montana to discuss grizzly bear recovery and management across the state. The letter states: Given these new developments and the importance of grizzly bear conservation and management to the state, I would like to invite you to join me in the Golden Triangle Area in Montana this October to see firsthand how grizzly bear populations have rebounded and hear from landowners and wildlife partners on the importance of proper management.

Background: On March 6th, 2020, Daines announced the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) responded to his frequent pleas for better management surrounding grizzly bears and human conflict in Montana. ### Print Email Tweet Next Article | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
