Occupied range is an estimate of the minimum, roughly contiguous area within which bears have established residency or have demonstrated habitat use. It does not encompass the total known extent of occurrences. The occupied range boundaries are updated every two years, are based data obtained during 15-year (NCDE and GYE) or 20-year (SE, CYE) windows of time, and are delineated to provide reliable estimates of grizzly bear occupancy through time and for use as a monitoring tool in grizzly bear management and conservation. See Credits section for citation information for each grizzly bear population. This layer is a single polygon created by dissolving the individuals polygons for each population and clipping to the Montana boundary<\/SPAN><\/P><\/DIV><\/DIV><\/DIV>",
