HONORING GRIZZLY 399

Help Us Protect The Legacy of The World's Most Famous Grizzly Bear

We are heartbroken that Grizzly 399, the iconic matriarch of Grand Teton National Park, was struck and killed by a car last week. Her death is a stark reminder of the dangers that face this fragile species and the urgent need for action to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. Let's honor her legacy by working together to protect grizzly bears and their habitats. Making a donation today in honor of Grizzly 399 will help us advocate for grizzly protections, promote wildlife crossings, and educate the public.

It shouldn’t have to be up to individuals to fend off these toxic chemicals. We need system-wide change to fight this problem.

Cemeteries are a paradox. On the one hand, they are widely seen as calm and quiet spaces to grieve or quietly contemplate. But their association with death can make them unnerving places. This same complicated relationship extends beyond the human experience.
