Most folks have strong feelings about grizzly bears and their ESA (Endangered Species Act) status. Myself included.
I will spare you too much opinion and simply say that the bears are recovered and management should be handed to the States. Exactly like western wolves in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.
That said, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has extended the public comment period for grizzly bear management to Friday, May 16, 2025.
This is excellent news as it provides an extended opportunity for folks to weigh in on the grizzly bear debate, giving the public a louder and clearer voice.
I applaud this decision as a refreshing move back to government of the people, by the people and it signals a shift in the Federal bureaucratic opposition to grizzly bear delisting. The tide may just be turning folks.
