Summary
Environmental groups are suing the U.S. Forest Service over a controversial decision to allow cattle grazing in the Elk Ridge complex—a grizzly bear hotspot in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem—arguing it violates the Endangered Species Act and threatens bear recovery. The move replaces a previous sheep grazing arrangement and comes amid a history of deadly conflicts between cattle and bears, raising alarms that this expansion could worsen habitat disruption and lead to more bear deaths. While federal agencies claim the plan won’t harm bears, plaintiffs say the consultation process was inadequate. The case could reshape how grazing is managed in sensitive wildlife areas—and reignite the debate over land use versus conservation in Yellowstone.
