We won! With our partners at Western Watersheds Project and WildEarth Guardians, we scored a major victory for endangered black-footed ferrets and black-tailed prairie dogs on Thunder Basin National Grassland in northeastern Wyoming. "The Forest Service should be ashamed of their plan to use shooting, poisoning, and unmitigated plague outbreaks to crush populations of native wildlife for the benefit of livestock grazing and local ranchers," said Matt Sandler, Legal Director with Rocky Mountain Wild. "We are pleased that the Court has held the Forest Service to its duty to consider how its actions will impact species, especially the federally endangered black-footed ferret and the agency-listed sensitive species black-tailed prairie dog."

Today is Plush Animal Lover's Day during Bat Week! Which is the perfect time to adopt a plush little brown bat to support our community science program, Colorado Bat Watch! Colorado Bat Watch was developed by Rocky Mountain Wild in collaboration with bat experts from the U.S. Forest Service, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado Natural Heritage Program, and the North American Bat Monitoring Program. This program recruits and engages community scientists to collect data that will enable these agencies to monitor bat species over time and better understand the impacts of white-nose syndrome and other threats on local bat populations. Adopt a little brown bat today to support this program. https://lnkd.in/gDm3H3ZF

Suncor Energy, a Canadian company, runs an oil refinery north of Denver Colorado.
