More than 150 acres in the Idaho Panhandle and Northwestern Montana are now protected from subdivision and development within an important habitat connection area for grizzly bears and many other wildlife species.

Wildlife biologist Wayne Kasworm of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service out of Libby, said grizzly bear recovery in the Selkirk and Cabinet-Yaak mountains is slowly continuing to improve.

Grizzly bear recovery is in full swing in the Idaho Panhandle and northwestern Montana and officials are looking for ways to mitigate negative interactions between humans and bears as the populations of both continue to rise in the area.
