(2020). “The Boomerang Effect”: The back and forth, relentless debate over how to effectively manage grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) - A Comprehensive Policy Analysis of the Endangered Species Act and 2016 Conservation Strategy for Grizzly Bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. College of Natural Resources, University of Wisconsin – Stevens Point, Stevens Point, Wisconsin. DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.30746.88000/1
The intent and purpose of this document is to summarize and synthesize preceding research and analysis providing a comprehensive policy analysis of Yellowstone grizzly bears, the Endangered Species Act and 2016 Conservation Strategy for Grizzly Bear in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The goal for this document is: (a) to provide a policymakers with a complete but succinct overview and background on the Yellowstone grizzly bears, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Conservation Strategy of 2016, and (b) provide convincing evidence that our proposed alternative and management recommendations are the best course of action.
