TODAY IS THE LAST DAY TO COMMENT ON THE 2001 ROADLESS RULE. In Montana alone, approximately 6.4 million acres of National Forest lands are inventoried roadless areas.

These large, relatively undeveloped landscapes matter to grizzly bears. True grizzly bear recovery requires secure habitat and connectivity between isolated populations.

The proposed rule would rescind the 2001 Roadless Area Conservation Rule, removing its nationwide restrictions on road construction, road reconstruction, and timber harvesting in inventoried roadless areas. Future activities would instead be governed by individual forest plans and other applicable laws.

The deadline to comment is today Tuesday, October 6.

Grizzlies are not recovered.

But the Trump administration is moving toward removing grizzly bears from the Endangered Species List. This week, a top U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service official told Idaho lawmakers that the administration plans an “immediate push” for delisting after its proposed grizzly management rule is finalized.

Climate change, lack of connectivity between isolated populations, increasing mortality, and the need for secure habitat are among the concerns that Save the Yellowstone Grizzly believes must be addressed before true recovery is achieved.
Recovery is about more than population numbers. It’s about ensuring grizzlies can survive, reconnect and thrive for generations to come.

14 black bears were killed north of Bozeman because they had become food-conditioned.
A fed bear is a dead bear.

So how can we talk about delisting grizzly bears when people are still illegally feeding wildlife and communities are struggling to prevent bears from becoming food-conditioned?

Our communities are not prepared for grizzly delisting.

At the same time, Idaho allows black bear baiting in the Bitterroot Mountains. an area where grizzly bear recovery and connectivity are supposed to occur.

These conflicts raise serious questions about turning grizzly bear management over to the states. Until communities are better prepared, attractants are properly managed, and secure habitat and connectivity are protected, federal protections remain critical to grizzly recovery.

Grizzlies are not recovered.
