The fate of the Greater Yellowstone grizzly bear is uncertain, and we must act to protect them.
The Yellowstone region's grizzly bear population hasn't grown since the early 2000s, fewer cubs are surviving to adulthood, bears have lost key foods due to climate change, and Yellowstone grizzly bears are completely isolated from other grizzly bears, which threatens their long-term survival.
Despite all this, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is preparing to remove Endangered Species Act protections ("delisting") later this year and turn management over to the states, who want to immediately begin sport hunting of grizzly bears.
Now is the time to provide scientific planning and adequate protections for the the future of Greater Yellowstone grizzlies. Tell Director Ashe, US Fish and Wildlife -- stop the delisting!
