So we need some taller cages now?
“Lynx populations in Washington have declined since they were identified as a threatened species in 2000,” said Dave Werntz, Science and Conservation Director at Conservation Northwest.“A significant amount of the habitat where they remain has been lost to recent large fires. The Trump Administration’s decision that lynx no longer deserve federal protection is shameful, cavalier, and contrary to best available information. It’s clear that lynx are facing extinction threats and warrant federal wildlife protections.”More information regarding our decades of work protecting lynx habitat, advocating for state and federal protections, and documenting their presence in Washington and southern British Columbia is available at: www.conservationnw.org/our-work/wildlife/canada-lynx/
Why would your comment get removed? You've given some good insight, from your link on CNW:Quote“Lynx populations in Washington have declined since they were identified as a threatened species in 2000,” said Dave Werntz, Science and Conservation Director at Conservation Northwest.“A significant amount of the habitat where they remain has been lost to recent large fires.

canada and eventually here in Washington and Idaho but conservation nw is opposed to all legal forms of sport hunting of all animals funny that once logging was ended by the eco terrorist mitch friedman and earth first the fuel load became so great in our forests that once a fire started it was so strong that t destroyed vital wildlife habitat including habitat for the endangered lynx.so much for uneducated eco terrorists, with zero background in forestry management, are now involved in our wildlife management.sounds like a recipe, once again, for disaster for our wildlife. Maybe try and spin this in favor of anti hunting groups again.Quote from: WAcoyotehunter on January 11, 2018, 09:00:40 PMQuote from: ribka on January 11, 2018, 08:07:59 PMQuote from: KFhunter on January 11, 2018, 07:46:41 PMSo we need some taller cages now?it appears that conservation NW, a supposed pro hunting organization thgat has help end legal trapping, , is opposed to lynx hunting even though the numbers are high enough to resume hunting and trappinghttps://www.conservationnw.org/news-updates/statement-proposal-delist-canada-lynx/http://www.capitalpress.com/Washington/20150723/wdfw-one-more-kill-will-put-dirty-shirt-wolves-at-riskof course it is ironic the the founder of conservation NW, mitch friedman, helped shut down all logging in the NW through spiking trees while he worked for earth first and that that resulted in wildfires with so much fuel load that they destroyed millions of acres of wildlife habitatsurprised?my post will probably get removed again Where are the populations high enough to be hunted?

They still hunt and trap lynx in Canada and an ESA listing does nothing to change that. If you want to 'eventually' hunt lynx in WA and ID, the federal listing will help the population get there. The state doesn't have much for resources to recover species and counts on Fed money for that....but I'm sure you know that.CNW and all conservation minded hunters should be wary about a delisting in this DPS. The population is not recovered. Are you arguing that it is? What the hell are you arguing, aside from.taking the time to bash CNW?
There's a handful in the Loomis, but very few anywhere else in the state. We hear about them infrequently in NE Washington and I have seen tracks 2x and one actual sighting near Priest Lake Idaho. They are rare, not even close to being a species hunters should think about targeting. We should be supportive of any recovery actions that can help lynx recover.
