Grizzly Bears (Ursus arctos) are protected in the contiguous United States under the federal Endangered Species Act. The conservation strategy for the species encourages population connectivity between isolated Grizzly Bear Recovery Areas through Demographic Connectivity Areas. Another goal is reestablishment of a breeding population in the Bitterroot ecosystem through natural immigration. Using the locations of 362 verified Grizzly Bear den sites and Maxent as a resource selection function, we predicted 21,091 km² of suitable denning habitats. Terrain features, distance to roads, and land cover best explained suitable denning habitats in northern Idaho and western Montana. The results support the demographic model for population connectivity, and independent of other factors there is suitable denning habitat for hundreds of Grizzly Bears in the Bitterroot analysis area. We suggest additions to the Bitterroot Grizzly Bear Recovery Area, and that more effective motorized-access management be applied to demographic connectivity areas.
