In the wake of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announcing its plan to review whether the gray wolf should be re-listed under the Endangered Species Act, Congresswoman Liz Cheney has said that Wyoming, not Washington, should be the ones to decide whether that should happen.
Because grizzly bears are listed as “threatened” under the federal Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service appeal and Peta are coming together to offer a monetary reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person(s) responsible for the suspected poaching.
Wyoming will receive more than $17 million to support critical state conservation and outdoor recreation projects this year, according to the U.S. Department of the Interior.
Prior to U.S. District Court Judge Dana Christensen's order, Wyoming officials said they were willing to make adjustments to the state's hunting season.
