Please Thank National Park Service Employees Pushing for Buffer Zone

At last week's Interagency Grizzly Bear Committee meeting, Yellowstone National Park Superintendent Dan Wenk was the only one who pushed back on the states’ agenda, making the case for a no-hunt buffer zone around Yellowstone and Grand Teton Parks. Wenk met with opposition from everyone on the committee, especially the states. Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela also supports a buffer zone. 

We disagree with the National Park Service's position on delisting.  They believe it is acceptable and we do believe Yellowstone ecosystem grizzly bears should remain protected under the Endangered Species Act. Nonetheless, we are grateful to the National Park Service - in particular Superintendents Wenk and Vela for pushing for a buffer zone. We appreciate them standing up for grizzly bears who live on the edges of our national parks.

Please thank these two officials and let their boss know your thoughts.

EMAIL: Please tell Director Jon Jarvis that you appreciate Superintendents Wenk and Vela's call for a no-hunt buffer zone around Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
