Augmentation refers to adding animals to an existing grizzly bear population. For example, grizzly bear population augmentation has occurred in the Cabinet Mountains of Montana. Re-introduction refers to relocating grizzly bears into an area previously inhabited, but no longer occupied, by grizzly bears.
