Yellowstone grizzly population increasing

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) -- Federal wildlife officials say they plan to propose ending Endangered Species Act protection for grizzly bears around Yellowstone National Park.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could make the proposal as early as next month, said Chris Servheen, grizzly recovery coordinator with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. He said delisting is being considered because the bear population has been growing steadily and adequate protections are in place for the bears and their habitat.


Something, close to my heart, becuase its close to home. Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana are some of the last lower 50 states to have a Grizzly population.
