(News Release) Biologists set to begin 2026 grizzly bear captures for research purposes in Yellowstone; Public reminded to heed signs

As part of ongoing monitoring efforts to document recovery of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Geological Survey, in conjunction with Yellowstone National Park, is working to inform the public that pre-baiting and scientific capture operations are once again about to begin within Yellowstone National Park. Agency biologists with the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team (IGBST) will begin the field captures May 1 and continue through Oct. 15. Capture operations can include a variety of activities, but all areas where work is being conducted will have major access points marked with warning signs. It is critical that all members of the public heed these signs.

Monitoring of the grizzly bear population is vital to ongoing research and management of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. To attract bears, biologists use natural food sources such as recently road-killed deer and elk. Potential capture sites are baited with these natural foods and if indications are that grizzly bears are in the area, culvert traps or foot snares are used to capture bears. Once captured, bears are handled in accordance with strict safety and animal care protocols developed by the IGBST and approved by the U.S. Geological Survey.

Whenever bear capture activities are being conducted for scientific purposes, the area around the site will be posted with brightly colored warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring. These signs are posted along the major access points to the capture site. It is important that the public heed these signs and do not venture into an area that has been posted.

ITEM OF THE DAY:

Beautiful Sterling Silver Handmade Navajo Bracelets, Earrings, and Necklace/Earring Set with Highly Prized Natural Afghani Lapis Lazuli !

Lapis is a deep-blue metamorphic rock prized since antiquity for its intense color, often featuring gold-colored pyrite specks and white calcite veins.

Historians believe the link between people and Lapis Lazuli stretches back more than 6,500 years.

Lapis was treasured by the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, Greece, and Rome.

They valued it for its vivid, exquisite color, and prized it as much as they prized other blue gems like Sapphire and Turquoise.

Badakshan, a province in present-day Afghanistan, is a forbidding wasteland of mountains, bare of any vegetation.

The sheer mountain faces rise as high as 17,000 feet, and are scored with treacherous ravines.

Still to this day people make the long arduous journey there to seek only one thing: the azure treasure that is fine Lapis Lazuli.
