The whitebark pine that grows in the north west United States has been in decline over the last few years.
Forest fires, pine beetles and other factors made worse by climate change have caused the decline.
Demonstrating the fragility of the environment, the decline of the whitebark pine is having serious consequences for the grizzly bear population in the greater Yellowstone area covering Wyoming, Montana and Idaho. Whitebark pine is an important source of food for the beara.
After near extinction due to hunting, grizzlies were protected.In 2007, the grizzly’s threatened status was removed as populations were thought to have recovered.
