美内政部启动程序：大黄石地区灰熊管理权拟交还怀俄明州
美国内政部10月16日宣布，内政部长道格·伯古姆（Doug Burgum）与怀俄明州州长马克·戈登（Mark Gordon）共同宣布，联邦政府将启动程序，把大黄石生态系统（Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem）灰熊的管理权交还怀俄明州。
伯古姆表示，五十多年来，怀俄明州为恢复大黄石地区的灰熊种群投入巨大；内政部将与怀俄明州、部落伙伴及美国鱼类与野生动物管理局密切合作，把基于科学的管理交还给最了解本地野生动物的州。戈登表示，怀俄明已一再证明能够有效管理本州野生动物，大黄石灰熊自2003年以来已经完全恢复，此次启动程序是把管理权交还州政府的关键第一步。
大黄石生态系统横跨怀俄明、蒙大拿、爱达荷三州的部分地区，环绕黄石国家公园；当地灰熊种群的联邦濒危物种保护地位多年来一直是各方争论的焦点。（GSM 据美国内政部宣布）
Interior Begins Process to Restore Wyoming's Management of Greater Yellowstone Grizzly Bears
The U.S. Department of the Interior announced on Oct. 16 that it will begin the process of restoring management of grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem to the State of Wyoming, in a joint announcement by Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon.
Burgum said Wyoming has invested significantly in recovering the Greater Yellowstone grizzly population for more than 50 years, and that the department will work with the state, Tribal partners and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to return science-based management to the state. Gordon said Wyoming has repeatedly proven it can manage its wildlife effectively, that the Greater Yellowstone grizzly has been fully recovered since 2003, and that the move is a crucial first step toward returning management authority to the state.
The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho around Yellowstone National Park, and its grizzly population has long been at the center of debate over federal endangered-species protections. (GSM, based on a U.S. Department of the Interior announcement)
