The environmental group WildEarth Guardians (which is the recently merged product of New Mexico-based Forest Guardians and Boulder-based Sinapu) has announced that it will sue the National Park Service for failing to properly consider wolves for elk management in Rocky Mountain National Park.The move isn't much of a surprise: the enviros have been threatening the strategy for months, but the recently finalized management plan opened the door to move forward with a lawsuit.
The group could have some have other hard presses ready for wildlife managers. A few years back, Rob Edward, then of Sinapu and now of WildEarth, told me that conservation advocates might also try to push a ballot initiative to reintroduce wolves in Colorado, in spite of the state wildlife division's resistance to the predator recovery.
