Thank the USFWS for Protecting Grizzly Bears

Last week was Bear Awareness Week, and we're thanking the United States Fish and Wildlife Service for making a sound, science-based policy determination in maintaining Endangered Species Act protections for grizzly bears while they study the impacts of recent changes on bear habitat and food sources.

Last month, FWS announced it was delaying delisting the grizzly while it studies the effects that the loss of one of the bears' primary food sources (whitebark pine trees) is having on their survival.

Please send FWS Director Dan Ashe an email thanking him for protecting grizzly bears.
