The Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Council on Wildlife and Fish, and Native Ecosystems Council have filed a federal lawsuit to protect habitat for grizzly bears, lynx, and sage grouse in the Gravelly Mountains of Montana. The lawsuit challenges the government’s “Greenhorn” project, which allows destructive activities in a critical wildlife corridor in the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. The project involves logging, road-building, and burning across thousands of acres of public lands, violating laws designed to protect rare wildlife species. The government has illegally eliminated lynx habitat protections and failed to apply mandatory sage grouse protections to the project, putting these species at risk.
The groups are standing up for the environment, stating that public lands should not be exploited for private profit. They are urging citizens to support their efforts to hold the government accountable and protect the land, water, air, and wildlife for current and future generations. The lawsuit aims to enforce the law and ensure that government actions are in line with protecting the environment.
