As long as (bear) mortality percentages are within the (federal conservation strategy) limits ... the state will have the ability to direct mortality in areas where it wants to manage for lower densities of grizzly bears.

God has put within our lives meanings and possibilities that quite outrun the limits of mortality.

They do it from the heart. They don't get any funding for it from the state or federal government.

To show your true ability is always, in a sense, to surpass the limits of your ability, to go a little beyond them: to dare, to seek, to invent; it is at such a moment that new talents are revealed, discovered, and realized.

We have developed a detailed management and monitoring plan ... and it will continue for the long term. It contains strict limits on mortality, strict habitat standards, and a comprehensive monitoring system for the bears, bear habitat, and bear foods. The future of the Yellowstone grizzly bears is bright, and I say that as a grizzly bear biologist.

We're not saying things will always be stable. We're saying we'll be able to respond to changes to make sure the bear's OK.
