Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

The wolves of Yellowstone have returned, but their impact isn't just about the thrill of seeing them. It's a tangled web of ecological debate and community concern.

The area around the capture site will be posted with bright warning signs to inform the public of the activities occurring.

In 2016, the fish restoration project ended after nonnative brook trout were completely removed from the waterway due to successful treatments.

In January of 2022 Governor Mark Gordon petitioned that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service delist the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE) grizzly bear population.

The US Fish and Wildlife Service has 90 days to review the petition.

In the wake of Governor Gordon petitioning to have the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem grizzly bear de-listed, as well as petitioning to give Wyoming management over the grizzly bear population, Liz Cheney has released a statement in agreement of the Governor's actions.

All areas where trapping is being conducted will have major access points marked with warning signs.

The big game migrations of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem have been likened to those of the Serengeti in Africa.

If nonnative mussels are detected in Yellowstone, a closure to all watercraft (except authorized National Park Service boats) would occur to prevent the spread to other waterways.
