Forest Service and Wildlife Service at odds over Wyoming prairie dogs

Here’s yet another reason Trump needs to go and after he’s gone President @JoeBiden should move the @forestservice into @Interior https://t.co/b3SsNPf8Sf

Restoring and rewilding American ecosystems are parts of the Green New Deal. 

Wildlife corridors over public and private land to the Fork Peck, Crow, and Northern Cheyenne nations then into Wyoming's Thunder Basin National Grassland and beyond to North and South Dakota would help create the Greater Missouri Basin National Wildlife Refuge. 

But, the Trump Organization's Forest Service wants to poison prairie dogs for Republican welfare ranchers and the US Fish and Wildlife Service wants to reintroduce endangered black-footed ferrets into the Thunder Basin. 

In a press release, conservation group Western Watersheds Project said they are considering possible litigation over the decision. [Forest Service Releases Final Decision On Thunder Basin National Grassland] 

Prairie dogs and black-footed ferrets are critical to sustain the reintroduction of bison in sage grouse habitat as the West is rewilded. 

The Anthropocene is now and time to rewild some of the American West eventually becoming part of a Greater Missouri Basin National Wildlife Refuge connecting the CM Russell in Montana along the Missouri River through North Dakota to Oacoma, South Dakota combined with corridors from Yellowstone National Park to the Yukon in the north and south to the Canadian River through eastern Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, western Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. 

Clear the second growth conifers and restore aspen habitat, prescribe burns, begin extensive Pleistocene rewilding using bison and cervids, empower tribes, lease private land for wildlife corridors, turn feral horses from Bureau of Land Management pastures onto other public land to control exotic grasses and buy out the welfare ranchers Tony Dean warned us about.
