About the Cover
After grizzly bears were nearly eradicated from the contiguous United States, protections afforded the species under the Endangered Species Act(ESA) have helped boost bear numbers. The ESA and other vital environmental laws protect both wildlife and human communities.

Read more on this distressing assault and why we, the public, must fight back.
