Lynx Recovery Plan

Lynx Recovery Plan

“The science and the law support critical habitat protections for lynx in the southern Rockies. It’s what they need to have a fighting chance at survival in the face of our warming climate,” said Matthew Bishop, senior attorney at the Western Environmental Law Center. “We’ve had to push the Fish and Wildlife Service for every inch of progress on Canada lynx recovery efforts, and are hopeful the agency is beginning a new chapter of good-faith recovery efforts for this ecologically significant and iconic wild cat. More work is required and we’d like to see more lands in Montana, Idaho, and Washington’s Kettle Range included, but the additions in the southern Rockies are a welcome change. Should the incoming Trump administration try to claw back these protections in the southern Rockies we won’t hesitate to return to court once again.”
