In a significant conservation effort, the federal government has announced plans to reintroduce grizzly bears to Washington's North Cascades. This decision comes after years of discussion and assessment of the ecological impact of such a reintroduction.

The National Parks Service (NPS) and the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife are spearheading the initiative, aiming to restore a population of grizzly bears to the North Cascade Mountains, where they once thrived for thousands of years before largely disappearing due to human activities like hunting.
