grizzly bear
The U.S. Department of the Interior recently announced plans to remove the grizzly bear from the endangered species list after 30 years of protection. Take action!
While the grizzly bear has clearly met recovery goals, by law de-listing can only happen when there are legally binding protections in place for grizzly bear habitat on national forest lands. However, due to the Bush administration's wrecking ball approach to national forest management, the necessary regulatory safeguards are not in place at this time to support de-listing.
The Bush Administration has orchestrated dramatic rollbacks of forest protections that could result in extensive road building and drilling in forests that are now protected. De-listing would allow the majestic bears to be hunted, open grizzly habitat to large-scale real estate, logging, and energy development, and increase the likelihood of bear-human conflict.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is accepting public comments on its proposal to delist the grizzly until February 15th. Please urge them to maintain protection for grizzlies until essential bear habitat is protected!
Thank you for making a difference today,
