vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\"> that the U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service\u2019s authorization of the killing of up to 72 grizzly bears on public land just outside of Yellowstone National Park violated federal law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2;

vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Meant to accommodate private grazing operations in grizzly habitat, the 2019 grazing authorization would have allowed an unlimited percentage of females to be killed in response to livestock conflict, despite the significance of breeding bears to the species\u2019 recovery. But now the court has remanded the decision to the agencies to fix the legal deficiencies.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cWe\u2019re hopeful that in reconsidering their flawed analysis, the agencies will spare dozens of female grizzly bears previously sentenced to death by the Trump administration,\u201d said Andrea Zaccardi, legal director of the Center for Biological Diversity\u2019s carnivore conservation program. \u201cThis ruling confirms that federal officials can\u2019t sidestep the law to allow grizzly bears to be killed on public lands to appease the livestock industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The court found that among other issues, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service\u2019s failure to consider limiting the number of female grizzly bears that could be killed was arbitrary and capricious because killing too many females could jeopardize the grizzly bear population in the project area. In so holding the court acknowledged the importance of protecting female grizzly bears for grizzly bear recovery.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cToday\u2019s decision is a victory not only for endangered grizzly bears but for all wildlife in the Upper Green River Area,\u201d said Megan Backsen, Tenth Circuit attorney for WWP. \u201cThe Court recognized that the Forest Service cannot ignore its own experts, particularly when those experts warn that a decision will harm those species that depend on intact ecosystems for their very survival.\u201d<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The grazing program area, approved by the U.S. Forest Service in 2019, encompasses the headwaters of the Green and Gros Ventre rivers and parts of two designated wilderness areas in the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The area provides important habitat for Yellowstone grizzly bears \u2014 listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act<\/span> <span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u2014 and other imperiled fish and wildlife species.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The challenged decision authorized the killing of up to 72 grizzly bears over the 10-year life of the reauthorized grazing program. The decision placed no limits on killing female bears or cubs, even though females with cubs live where the proposed killing would be permitted.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">The judges also ruled that the Forest Service failed to follow its own Forest Plan requirements regarding wildlife habitat protections for migratory birds. Some 96% of the lands approved for livestock is zoned in the Forest Plan for a wildlife protection emphasis instead.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">\u201cThroughout this case, the Forest Service has tried to run away from its wildlife habitat commitments\u00a0 made to the public in its Forest Plan,\u201d said Jonathan Ratner, Western Watersheds Project\u2019s Wyoming Office Director. We are pleased to see that the court understands that the promises made in the Forest Plan are made to the American people and the wildlife that lives on these lands.\u201c, the Forest Service has always ignored its Forest Plan and treated it like a livestock feedlot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">Dr. John Carter of Yellowstone to Uintas Connection said, \u201cWe have collected data within the allotments that shows how much degradation has been caused by livestock.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\">\u00a0<\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;\">We have provided reports to the Forest Service but they feel they can simply ignore the data.

Although the suit was originally filed in the U.S. District Court of Columbia, the lawsuit was later transferred to the U.S. District Court of Wyoming. The U.S. District Court of Wyoming issued a ruling upholding the agencies\u2019 decisions on May 17, 2022. Today\u2019s opinion overturns that decision.<\/span><\/p><p dir=\"ltr\" style=\"line-height: 1.2; text-align: center; margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;\">\u00a0<\/p><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nFor Immediate Release, May 25, 2023&nbsp; Contacts&nbsp; Andrea Zaccardi, Center for Biological Diversity, (303) 854-7748, azaccardi@biologicaldiversity.org Megan Backsen, Western Watersheds Project, (719) 297-2493; megan@westernwatersheds.org&nbsp; Court Overturns Federal Authorization to Kill 72 Grizzlies Near Yellowstone PINEDALE, Wyo.\u2014 The U.S. 10th Circuit&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.endangered.org\/court-overturns-federal-authorization-to-kill-72-grizzlies-near-yellowstone\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Court Overturns Federal Authorization to Kill 72 Grizzlies Near Yellowstone&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":158,"featured_media":23793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[836,837],"tags":[241,242],"class_list":["post-32818","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-esc-org","category-press-release","tag-grizzly-bears","tag-usfws","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
