Feds plan to restore grizzly bears in an area of northwestern and north-central Washington
The federal government plans to restore grizzly bears to an area of northwestern and north-central Washington, where they were largely wiped out.
Plans announced in April by the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service call for releasing three to seven bears a year for five to 10 years to achieve an initial population of 25. The aim is to eventually restore the population in the region to 200 bears within 60 to 100 years.
