Already challenged to explain to the public its abrupt termination of a grizzly bear reintroduction plan in north-central Washington, the U.S. Department of the Interior may soon have to explain it in court.
A DOI spokesman declined repeated requests to explain discrepancies between Interior Secretary David Bernhardt’s public comments and the Notice of Termination released last week on the grizzly reintroduction plan. The department’s own notice listed two phone numbers to call for more information: one was disconnected and the other went to a DOI official in Washington state who referred all questions to the Washington, D.C. office, which in turn declined to respond.
