US will keep protecting more than 2,000 Rocky Mountain grizzly bears

The Biden administration will continue protecting about 2,000 grizzly bears in four Rocky Mountain states, according to U.S. Wildlife officials.
Federal officials plan to reclassify the grizzly's status, allowing ranchers to shoot bears attacking livestock, as reported by the AP.
Protections will be withdrawn in states where bears are not found, including California, Colorado, New Mexico, and Oregon, according to The Hill.
This reclassification will facilitate the recovery of grizzly bears and provide a stronger foundation for eventual delisting, said Martha Williams, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service director.
