“Something else your listeners might find interesting: A lot of people think that if a species is on the list, that it’s the federal government that manages them – the Fish and Wildlife Service – and that’s not the case. Even if a species is on the list, on the endangered or threatened list, it is the state game and fish departments that actually manage those species. They’re the ones that monitor them. They’re the ones that invest the money in them. Wyoming has spent over $50 million on grizzly bear recovery, as compared to the Fish and Wildlife Service — less than $10,000. So we’re the ones who spent the money.” – Congresswoman Harriet Hageman
