Founded and led by veteran bear biologist Carrie Hunt, its goal is to reduce human-bear conflicts and change how problem bears are handled worldwide. WRBI's fundraising arm is the Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Foundation . Through their efforts, the generosity of corporate sponsors and the generous support of individuals, WRBI hopes to continue its successful work.
Funding is needed to keep teams in the field and train urgently needed new teams.
As bear habitat decreases and populations of towns bordering protected habitat increase, instances of human-bear conflict will increase. WRBI has a solution that works. Your donations and community involvement are vital to the continued success of the Institute and its programs. For more information on how to make a donation please see our donations Page.
