Description

Grizzly bears are considered functionally extinct in Washington state because no one has seen a grizzly here for decades.

But a new federal plan could bring large brown bears back to the North Cascades wilderness.

Ecologist Chris Morgan is with us to explain why he thinks it’s a good idea, and why some people don’t care for the plan.
