Getting along with Griz
Article Abstract:
The grizzly bear is no longer in danger of becoming extinct but low populations in America keep it on the endangered species list, to the chagrin of some and the relief of others. Ranchers and the timber industry resent the protection of the bear because it limits their accessibility to land or kills their livestock. Conservationists want the grizzly to remain on the list, claiming the 1975 population statistics used to classify it as endangered were too low in the first place. If it is taken off the list states would have the power to allow grizzly hunting again.

A volatile issue
Article Abstract:
Federal and state agencies are clashing with the National Park Service and conservation groups about the killing of bison leaving Yellowstone National Park to search for grazing in Montana. A large bison population and severe winter conditions have caused a huge exodus in early 1997. Ranchers are worried that the bison will carry brucellosis to their cattle, and more than 740 park bison have been killed or sent to slaughter. A possible solution to the bison problem is the establishment of a quarantine facility by the InterTribal Bison Cooperative.

A gathering of eagles
Article Abstract:
Spawning season on the Missouri River in Montana provides a annual feast for bald eagles. Spawning kokanee salmon are what attracts the eagles, who come from their normal homes spread out over the Northwest to dine on the fish. As many as 300 eagles have been counted in a single day in the area. Bald eagles are making a recovery in population size since their numbers reached drastically low levels as a result of exposure to DDT from the 1950s until She 70s.
