Grizzly Bears meet Admin Law

The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service proposed last Fall to remove ESA protections for the Grizzly Bears in Yellowstone National Park.

Since the mid-90s, the bear population has allegedly increased from four to seven percent annually with over 600 bears now living around the Park.

The environmentalist concern is that the proposal is too soon to ensure a thriving population continues without protection and meanwhile agency concerns indicate the proposal as is, is simply too cumbersome and technical.

The Notice & Comment period was supposed to expire yesterday but in response to requests for extension on both sides of the proposal, it has been extended until March 20th.
