The National Park Service (NPS) is considering a plan to bring grizzly bears back to the North Cascades.
The National Park Service is considering a plan to bring grizzly bears back to the North Cascades after the bears have been absent from the region for three decades.
According to the NPS, they were “an essential part of the ecosystem, distributing seeds and keeping other wildlife populations in balance.” Grizzly bears occupied the North Cascades for thousands of years as an essential part of the ecosystem and were key in spreading the seeds of native plants as well as controlling the population of local fauna.The proposal offers several alternatives that could be enacted. One is leaving things as they are.
The North Cascades Ecosystem is one of only two grizzly recovery areas without an established population of bears, and due to its relative distance and isolation from other zones, it would not likely be repopulated from natural bear migration, environmental groups have said.
