New proposal is out from Dept of Interior and comment period is now open.

Looks like right outta the gate both sides have issued their opinions and support on this.

Under the proposal, the Dept of the Interior would “increase management flexibility for grizzly bears in areas where the species has met, and in many cases exceeded, federal recovery benchmarks,” according to a press release.

The announcement came at a press conference in Big Sky, Montana.

Wyoming Gov. Mark Gordon joined Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Montana Gov. Greg Gianforte, Idaho Gov. Brad Little and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Director Brian Nesvik to back the proposal with Burgum saying, “The science is more than clear.”

This happened back in 2017 and grizzly management was ceded back to the states but environmentalists sued to resume federal protections.

So will this work this time? Time will tell!
