Choose the item that best answers the question or completes the unfinished
statement about the passage:
Grizzly bears, once a common sight in the Western United States, have been
a threatened species for 25 years. From the estimated 50,000 grizzlies that Western
settlers first saw 200 years ago, their numbers have dropped to 1,200 bears in just
four states – Montana, Wyoming, Idaho and Washington.
These few remaining grizzlies now face a threat biologists didn’t foresee 25
years ago. Today, “modern cowboys” live in the country and work from their home
computers. They have accelerated growth in the areas where the bears are found.
But "bears show up in places where bears have been for thousands of years,"
said Chris Servheen, grizzly bear recovery coordinator for the Fish and Wildlife
Service. According to Servheen, residents in these areas need to learn the same
lessons that campers in national parks have learned. Any garbage you have must be
stored, any food that you leave around will attract bears, and if you see an
occasional bear show up in your backyard, it does not necessarily need to be killed.
