The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed a 19,112 square mile protected zone in the Northern Rockies to aid the recovery of the endangered Canada lynx. This initiative aims to preserve and enhance the habitat for the lynx, which has been listed as threatened since 2000. The proposed area spans across parts of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Minnesota, and Washington, focusing on regions where the lynx population is known to exist or could potentially be reintroduced. The plan includes measures to manage forest habitats to ensure they remain suitable for the lynx, which relies heavily on dense forest cover for hunting snowshoe hares, its primary prey. Public comments on this proposal are being accepted until August 1, 2023, reflecting the government's commitment to involving stakeholders in conservation efforts.
