Table 29. The spectrum of potential management activities to minimize the potential for wolf-livestock 

 conflicts and the management tools available to resolve conflicts where and when they develop. 

 The State of Montana intends to find or create an entity to administer a compensation program. 

 The adaptive management model calls for a more conservative approach for public lands and 

 when there are 10-15 breeding pairs (according to the federal recovery definition of an adult male 

 and female with two pups on Dec. 31). More liberal tools become available if there are greater 

 than 15 breeding pairs in Montana. Some management strategies may apply across all numbers 

 of breeding pairs or landownership, as indicated by the arrows.
