In the Fall 1999 issue of "Bear News," published by the Great Bear Foundation, IGBC's grizzly bears conservation efforts are noted. Editor Dr. Charles Jonkel commented that IGBC has been getting things done, especially regarding road closures in critical grizzly areas, cleaning up garbage situations in West Yellowstone and Cooke City with good dumpsters and by installing backcountry bear-proof storage boxes in campgrounds and outfitter camps.
