Biterroot grizzly recovery: a community-based alternative
Article Abstract:
The campaign to re-introduce the threatened grizzly bear to its former range in the Biterroot Ecosystem in Montana and Idaho is gaining ground as a result of collaboration among all the parties affected by the initiative. This means that there is a level of trust between conservationists, agency officials and citizens of rural communities. Through cooperation, the recovery of the bear does not undermine the local economy and gives people the opportunity to express their opinions regarding grizzly management. This program should be used as a model for future recovery movements.

Public supports fish recovery
Article Abstract:
A telephonic opinion survey reveals that 66% of the public in the upper Colorado river basin support protection of the endangered humpback chub, bonytail chub, Colorado squawfish, and razorback sucker fish species. However, 21% of the respondents to the survey, conducted by Colorado State University, opposed the conservation. Environmentalists, officials, anglers and representatives of general public feel that the species should be allowed to live in the river basin for recovery purpose. Saving the fish from extinction is essential for maintaining the environmental balance.

Oregon embarks on bold recovery plan for Pacific salmon: should it be used as an alternative to an ESA listing?
Article Abstract:
The state of Oregon's Coastal Salmon Restoration Initiative, which is aimed at preserving coho salmon species in the region, means that it has avoided being listed by the National Marine Fisheries Service. However, the decision means that a valuable opportunity for both state and federal agencies to work together is being missed. A partnership on salmon recovery could be beneficial while serving as a model for cooperation elsewhere.
