HELENA — There is a new online tool to update the public on known grizzly bear deaths across Montana outside Tribal land.
The Grizzly Bear Mortality Dashboard is run by Montana Fish, Wildlife, and Parks (FWP), which estimates roughly 2,000 grizzly bears in the state.
However, getting an exact number is complex, and one of the critical data points is mortalities.
FWP says the new dashboard will help them be transparent with the public on what leads to grizzly bear deaths.
The dashboard will be updated daily at 1:00 PM and reset in January with the new year.
People can find data from previous years through FWP's Grizzly Bear Management website.
