Along with other groups we submitted a citizen alternative for natural grizzly bear recovery with ESA protections and habitat connectivity areas we seek to have considered as a formal alternative. During the comment period we also submitted extensive comments on issues the EIS must address. The USFWS is currently drafting alternatives it will release for public comments sometime this summer or fall.

Another aspect is the possible delisting of grizzly bears in the NCDE and GYE with state management and trophy hunting. Decisions are expected soon. We were part of the Great Bear Gathering where we discussed the challenges and tactics.
