Montana is known for sweeping scenic public lands, iconic wildlife and common-sense science-based wildlife conservation. This is all at risk.
So far, 2021 is shaping up to be a rotten year for Montana’s wildlife. The newly sworn-in state Legislature is threatening to undo decades of wildlife restoration and conservation work for many of the state’s most iconic species. A range of bills have been designed to hinder and, in many cases, prevent or even reverse the ongoing recovery and survival of wild bison, gray wolves and grizzly bears.
Defenders of Wildlife is working hard to try and stop these measures: asking Montanans to call their legislators and stand up for wildlife, coordinating with other conservation organizations, working with tribal leaders who also oppose these bills (and supporting tribal buffalo bills), and testifying before the legislature to ensure lawmakers are aware of the dire consequences before they proceed.
