VisitU.S. Continues Protection for Over 2,000 Rocky Mountain Grizzly Bears in Greater Yellowstone for 20 Years Under Endangered Species Act
Jan 8, 2025, 08:22 PM

Critics of the Biden administration, including certain senators, assert that the decision reflects a prioritization of political interests over scientific evidence. They advocate for local experts in Wyoming to manage grizzly populations rather than federal bureaucrats.
