蒙大拿的鱼类、野生生物和公园已经减少和简化了有关灰熊死亡的公开报道,2025年发布的新闻稿比去年少了三分之二左右,即使熊死亡率保持稳定。
Montana’s Fish, Wildlife & Parks has reduced and simplified its public reporting on grizzly bear deaths, issuing about two-thirds fewer press releases in 2025 compared to last year, even as bear fatalities remain steady.
在没有野生动物生物学背景的牧场主克里斯蒂·克拉克 (Christy Clark) 的新任局长的领导下,该机构正在尽量减少熊的年龄、项圈或幼崽的存在等细节,而是在联邦除名讨论中关注土地所有者的担忧。
Under new director Christy Clark, a rancher with no wildlife biology background, the agency is minimizing details like bear age, collaring, or cub presence, focusing instead on landowner concerns amid federal delisting discussions.
包括生物学家Chris Serviheen在内的批评者警告说,透明度降低可能会妨碍预防冲突,而FWP则说,这一转变支持农村社区的共存努力。
Critics, including biologist Chris Servheen, warn the reduced transparency may hinder conflict prevention, while FWP says the shift supports coexistence efforts in rural communities.
