Grizzly bears stick to a mostly vegetarian diet in sync with plant
growing seasons. However, as grizzlies' habitats grow smaller, food is
harder to come by. Using NASA satellites, scientists track the shifting,
interrelated patterns of grizzlies and plants. David Laskin explains

Satellite images are used to create habitat maps that show the best areas for bears to dwell. What are some other ways these maps can be used to help conserve grizzly bear populations?
