flag The U.S. delays grizzly bear rule finalization until 2026 due to public comments and staff changes, impacting livestock protection efforts.

flag The U.S. flag Fish and Wildlife Service has delayed finalizing grizzly bear rules for the lower 48 states until late 2026, missing a court-ordered deadline due to over 200,000 public comments, staff changes, and regulatory complexity. flag Montana ranchers say the delay harms livestock operations, as they cannot legally protect animals from grizzlies without federal approval, despite bears causing stress, lower breeding rates, and weight loss. flag They urge a temporary state-led plan to allow immediate action. flag Former recovery coordinator Chris Servheen notes current management is similar to post-delisting rules and worries about political interference, especially as the new administration prepares a new rule despite unchanged biological threats to grizzlies.
