Republican lawmakers are urging the Biden administration to allow the public more time to voice concerns with a plan to unleash grizzly bears into a forest area in Washington.
A group of Republicans are calling for the Biden administration to allow the public additional time to voice concerns with a proposal to release grizzly bear populations in a federally managed forest area in northern Washington. Led by Congressional Western Caucus Chairman Dan Newhouse, R-Wash.
According to NPS, grizzly bears occupied the North Cascades and served as an 'essential part of the ecosystem' for thousands of years. However, in the 20th century, as a result of aggressive hunting practices, the species was driven into near extinction and the last confirmed sighting of a grizzly bear in the North Cascades ecosystem was in 1996.
Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers of Washington, who chairs the Energy and Commerce Committee; Russ Fulcher of Idaho; Cliff Bentz of Oregon; Harriet Hageman of Wyoming; and Matt Rosendale of Montana joined the letter. The NPS and FWS didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
