Back in the United States, a federal judge has restored endangered species status to grizzly bears in and around Wyoming’s famed Yellowstone National Park. Tuesday’s ruling by district court Judge Dana Christensen in Montana reverses an order by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke that threatened Yellowstone’s estimated 700 bears, whose population has grown from just 136 when the bears were first listed as endangered in 1975. Zinke’s move would have allowed for the first legal grizzly bear hunts in decades.
