Summary
A landmark court victory halts a destructive logging project in northern Idaho, saving the critically endangered Selkirk grizzly bears from further habitat loss. With only about fifty bears left—far below the 100 needed for recovery—the Alliance for the Wild Rockies sued the U.S. Forest Service over plans to log 2,000 acres, burn 139 acres, and build 20 miles of new trails. The court ruled the Forest Service ignored environmental laws, even misusing the term “wildland urban interface” to dodge proper review. The decision not only protects the bears but also safeguards local communities and waterways from massive clearcutting. This ruling is a vital step toward ensuring the government follows the law—and gives this fragile population a fighting chance.
