What we do: The Sierra Club Grizzly Bear Ecosystems Project is working to protect and restore wild grizzly populations and their habitat in the lower 48 United States and Canada. We are committed to ensuring that grizzly populations are healthy and large enough to be viable in the long-term, and that strong habitat protections are in place prior to removing the grizzly from the Endangered Species Act list.
