Abstract
In January 2025, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service published a proposed rule to continue protecting grizzly bears in the contiguous United States under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). The proposed rule and guidance for how the public can comment on the proposed rule can be found at this link: https://www.fws.gov/press-release/2025-01/usfws-proposes-update-grizzly-bear-esa-listing-management
In January 2025, we implemented a web-based survey designed to assess the attitudes of residents of the contiguous United States, as they pertain to the appropriateness of continuing protection of grizzly bears under the ESA. A large body of prior research indicates that individuals’ attitudes toward species protections can be affected by a variety of factors. As such, a key feature of this survey was understanding how attitudes about continued protections are affected by different kinds of information about grizzly bears and their protection.
