- Comments Favor Grizzly Reintroduction- The USFWS has received "as many as 20,000 public comments" on Interior Secretary Norton's decision to
abandon grizzly reintroduction into Idaho's Bitterroot-Selway mountains. The agency's grizzly bear recovery coordinator
said that the "majority of them favored keeping the reintroduction in place" and the International Association for Bear Research and
Management reported that of 14,000 comments received on last year's final reintroduction proposal "less than 100 comments" were against
bringing the great bear back, Greenwire
