Canada Lynx Proposed for New Habitat Protections in US Southern Rockies
U.S. wildlife officials finalized a recovery plan for imperiled populations of Canada lynx and proposed new habitat protections in the southern Rocky Mountains for the forest-dwelling wildcats that are threatened by climate change. Areas of protected habitat also are being added in Idaho and Montana. Protected areas in Wyoming would be sharply reduced under Wednesday's proposal. Wildlife officials said they were removing locations where they consider lynx unlikely to thrive in the future, while adding new areas that the latest science suggests are more suitable to their long-term survival. -

Conservationists win black-footed ferret plan appeal for Thunder Basin National Grassland
The appeals court found, among other things, that Thunder Basin administrators failed to consider a “reasonable range” of alternatives. “[N]one of the action alternatives focused on strategies that would expand [black-tailed prairie dog] acreage objectives or limit livestock grazing allotments,” the appeals panel wrote. The federal agency didn’t explain its reasoning or why it found that grazing reductions were outside the scope of its review.
