TO DATE, THE ORGANIZATION HAS PRODUCED EIGHT FILMS FEATURING PROMINENT WILDLIFE SUPPORTERS, INCLUDING JANE GOODALL AND YVON CHOUINARD, CARL HIAASEN, JEFF BRIDGES, MICHAEL KEATON AND DOUG PEACOCK. THESE "ROAD SHOWS" ALSO INCLUDE PRESENTATIONS BY SCIENTISTS, RESEARCHERS, AND OTHER PROMINENT MEMBERS OF THE WILDLIFE SUPPORT COMMUNITY. DONATIONS ARE ACCEPTED AT THESE EVENTS AND ON SOCIAL MEDIA (FACEBOOK AND PAYPAL), AND PROMOTIONAL MERCHANDISE IS SOLD. THE GOAL IS TO INCREASE PUBLIC AWARENESS AND SUPPORT OF THESE TIME-SENSITIVE ISSUES. THE ORGANIZATION SUCCESSFULLY BLOCKED AN EFFORT BY THE US FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE, AND THE STATES OF MONTANA, WYOMING AND IDAHO TO DELIST THE GRIZZLY BEAR FROM ITS STATUS AS "THREATENED" UNDER THE ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT IN 2018. THE ORGANIZATION WAS JOINED IN THIS EFFORT BY MAJOR WILDLIFE ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE SIERRA CLUB, AND MORE THAN FIFTY INDIAN TRIBES. AN IMPORTANT STUDY IS NOW BEING CONDUCTED ON WILDLIFE MIGRATION CORRIDORS IN THE NORTHERN UNITED STATES. THESE CORRIDORS ARE NECESSARY TO CONNECT ISOLATED SMALLER POPULATIONS TO ENSURE GENETIC DIVERSITY NECESSARY FOR THE HEALTH AND SURVIVAL OF THE BEARS. AREAS SUITABLE FOR THIS DISPERSAL OF THE BEAR POPULATION ARE BEING IDENTIFIED. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO SPONSORS "BEAR SAFETY AND AWARENESS" PROGRAMS TO FURTHER INVOLVE THE PUBLIC IN PROTECTION OF THIS IMPORTANT SPECIES. THE ORGANIZATION CONCENTRATED EFFORTS IN 2019 ON THE MIGRATION (OR "UNDERPASS") CORRIDOR PROJECT AND A FILM PROJECT. "THE BEAST OF OUR TIME: CLIMATE CHANGE AND GRIZZLY BEARS" FILM FOCUSES ON THE IMPACT AND EFFECT OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON THE GRIZZLY POPULATION, WHICH IS SEPARATED BY HABITAT FRAGMENTATION AND POSES A THREAT TO THIS ENDANGERED SPECIES. POINTS OF VIEW FROM RANCHERS, CLIMATOLOGISTS, BEAR BIOLOGISTS, WRITERS, AND NATIVE ACTIVISTS PROVIDE PROOF OF THE IMPORTANCE OF THE WILD AREAS NECESSARY TO ENSURE THE SPECIES' SURVIVAL AND GENETIC DIVERSITY.THE FILM WAS COMPLETED IN 2021.THE CURRENT FILM PROJECT IS "THE RETURN OF THE GRIZZLY." THIS PREMIERED IN THE SUMMER OF 2023. THE UNDERPASS PROJECT, WHICH SEEKS TO CREATE AND ENHANCE EXISTING WILDLIFE CROSSING STRUCTURES AND DESIGNS TO CREATE THE NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE AND PROVIDE A FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR AREA LANDOWNERS AND THE MONTANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION. THE COST OF THE FEASIBILITY REPORT ARE ESTIMATED AT 25-30,000, WHILE THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE UNDERPASS ITSELF IS ANTICIPATED TO BE 150-200,000. THIS PROJECT IS NOW GOING INTO THE ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION DESIGN PHASE IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE US DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION CALL FOR PROJECTS TO PROTECT ENDANGERED WILDLIFE FROM HIGHWAY COLLISIONS WHILE ENSURING GENETIC CONNECTIVITY. AS PLANS FOR THIS PROJECT PROGESS, WE EXPECT THERE TO BE MORE OPPORTUNITES FOR GRANTS. 164793 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 10 0 0 false false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true false false false false true false false X DAN SULLIVAN 4062236413 611 WEST CALLENDER LIVINGSTON MT 59047 DAN SULLIVAN BOARD TREASU 2.00 X 12000 0 0 RICK BASS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 MARC BEAUDIN BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 LANCE CRAIGHEAD BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 DOUG PEACOCK CHAIRMAN 2.00 X 0 0 0 MICHELLE UBERUAGA BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 CHUCK WATSON BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 TERRY T WILLIAMS BOARD MEMBER 2.00 X 0 0 0 12000 false false false 143522 143522 YNP TABLING PROJECT 10304 10304 10304 153826 10304 X 12000 12000 42367 42367 2814 2814 75210 75210 4212 4212 14183 6061 8122 1396 1396 9973 9973 491 491 1521 1521 UNDERPASS EXPENSES 5015 5015 SUPPLIES 1754 1754 BILLBOARD 1382 1382 MEALS & ENTERTAINMENT 298 298 299 299 172915 164793 8122 0 86452 67378 810 810 810 87262 68188 230 245 230 245 X 87032 67943 87032 67943 87262 68188 -19089 X false false X 75928 52122 71548 112261 143522 455381 75928 52122 71548 112261 143522 455381 173676 281705 455381 31848 0.61860 X PART II, LINE 10 SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PROMOTIONAL 0 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 810 810 810 CREDIT CARDS PAYABLE 245 245 FORM 990, PAGE 1, PART I, LINE 6 VOLUNTEERS STAFF AND SET UP EVENTS SUCH AS ROAD SHOWS, AND WORK ON FILMS AND OTHER PROGRAMS TO PROMOTE THE MISSION OF THE ORGANIZATION.
