Implement the plan - Recover the North Cascades grizzly bear!
Create a future for grizzly bears in the North Cascades
In 1975 grizzly bears in the continental US were protected under the Endangered Species Act, and today grizzly bears remain in only five areas within the continental United States.
One of those landscapes is Washington's North Cascades, where an estimated fewer than ten to twenty grizzly bears survive. The future for Cascades grizzlies hover on a knife's edge. The good news is that an achievable recovery plan for North Cascades grizzly bears has been in place by the Fish and Wildlife Service since 1997. It needs simply to be put into action. The North Cascades Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan was created in 1997 to save the bear, but it's a plan the US Fish and Wildlife Service has yet to fully implement, and they need to activate this long over due.
A recent confirmed photo sighting of an endangered Cascades grizzly bear gives us hope – and the urgency to speed recovery for Cascades grizzly bears.
