The National Park Service (NPS) and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) announced on Thursday that they have made the decision to actively restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades.
The National Park Service and U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service announced on Thursday that they have made the decision to actively restore grizzly bears to the North Cascades. Grizzly bears had once roamed and occupied the North Cascades for thousands of years, but in the 20th century, humans nearly hunted them to extinction in the area. The last confirmed sighting of a grizzly bear in the North Cascades was in 1996.
This will provide authorities and land managers with additional tools for management that would not otherwise be available under existing Act regulations. FWS will publish a final 10 rule in the coming days.The agencies did not set a timeline for when restoration will begin. The decision is the culmination of an Environmental Impact Statement process that began in 2022. Officials also said public feedback had played a key role in the decision process.
