Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Federal Judge Restores Endangered Status to Grizzly Bears

HeadlineSep 26, 2018

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.
