Victory for grizzlies! Today, The U.S. District Court for the District of Montana found that the U.S. Forest Service violated the law when it authorized expanded livestock grazing on six allotments on the east side of Montana’s Paradise Valley in occupied grizzly bear habitat. The allotments lie just north of Yellowstone National Park in the Absaroka Mountains. “The best available science says steps need to be taken to help facilitate grizzly bear movement and connectivity between subpopulations to fully recover the species in the lower 48 states,” said Matthew Bishop, senior attorney at the Western Environmental Law Center representing the groups. “We agree the agency needs to take a harder, closer look at these issues before authorizing activities in important linkage areas like the Absaroka Range.”
