Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; 12-Month Finding for the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem of the Grizzly Bear in the Lower-48 States
Published Date: 1/15/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reviewed a request to create and then remove a special grizzly bear group in the Northern Continental Divide area. They found that this group doesn’t qualify as a separate population, so no changes to its protected status will happen now. This decision keeps protections in place for grizzlies in the lower-48 states, with no new costs or deadlines announced.
