The nation's first and only grizzly bear recovery coordinator is stepping down after 35 years, saying the threatened species has recovered enough for him to retire.
Chris Servheen of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is retiring at the end of April. Wayne Kasworm will become acting recovery coordinator.
Servheen, 65, said he considers bear populations in Yellowstone National Park and the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem to be recovered.
But when he began his work in 1981 — right after getting his doctorate at the University of Montana — the challenges seemed insurmountable.

that shill left office, and I hope his waste of good air sibling goes away too. They have been more detrimental to the recovery of the GYA grizzlies than benefit, good riddance! Most of us in the actual conservation community have been waiting for a loooong time for this.
Don't let the door hit you in the back side as you slither out!!
