Below is a recent article depicting the accomplishments in Grizzly Bear preservation that veteran Conservation Advocate Louisa Wilcox has and is continuing to make.............“I continue to work on grizzly bears, largely because I love them but also they really are the most sensitive barometer of the health of the northern Rockies ecosystem"................ "If bears are healthy, so tends to be the rest of the ecosystem"............... “We were so close to exterminating grizzly bears in the Lower 48 — there are still only 1 percent of the numbers that were here when Europeans arrived in the West"--Louisa Wilcox
