BEAR AWARE
Grizzly Bear Conservation

Grizzly Systems drives impactful, on-the-ground conservation in the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem, while innovating scalable technology solutions for global biodiversity preservation for future generations.

Without creative actions to promote grizzly bear co-existence, these ancient predators who provide ecosystem services and economic value may not gain enough social tolerance to guarantee their longevity for our children.

Wild Livelihoods has teamed up with the non-profit arm of Grizzly Systems protect humans and grizzly bears. Using advanced camera traps powered by artificial intelligence and situational sensors, and grizzly bear deterrence technology, we are creating a space for these magnificent creatures on the landscape.

Park County, Montana, just north of Yellowstone National Park, generates over $500 million annually in tourism revenue, supporting local, family-owned businesses and sustaining the rural economy. Wildlife watching is the top attraction, drawing visitors eager to experience the unique species of the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem that have largely disappeared from the rest of the United States.

​

Top predators, such as wolves and grizzly bears, are among the most sought-after wildlife by these visitors, who are willing to spend money to witness them. While these predators occasionally create conflict with humans and agricultural producers, Wild Livelihoods—a coalition of over 250 local businesses—has partnered with Grizzly Systems to address these challenges. Recognizing that wolves alone contribute $80 million annually to the local economy, double the impact of the ranching sector’s $40 million, these business owners value the essential habitats preserved by their ranching neighbors. By supporting efforts to deter bears from livestock areas, they aim to balance the needs of wildlife tourism and agricultural livelihoods, ensuring the long-term sustainability of the region’s ecosystem and economy.

Grizzly Systems is committed to developing solutions that protect humans and grizzly bears. With the likely de-listing of grizzly bears, now is the time to innovate solutions that protect us and this magnificent creature. With GrizCam, people can quickly detect grizzly bears who are hanging out in human-dominated landscapes, and implement various solutions, such as electric fences, to deter them from those locations...protecting both the bears and the humans.
