Politics, Forest Management, and Bears

Politics, Forest Management, and Bears

Grizzly bear (Ursus arctos) recovery in the western states has been hampered by poor interagency cooperation, minimal attention to habitat protection, and continuing degradation of habitat on both private and public lands. Some positive actions, such as increased research and agency focus on mortality reduction, have taken place. I advocate the adoption of mandatory standards for U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service land-management actions such as road building and cumulative effects analysis, and greater attention by both Forest Service and U.S. Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service to the Endangered Species Act mandate to develop programs to improve grizzly habitat.
