The University of Idaho, in cooperation with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and the United States Forest Service, had planned to release lynx to the Clearwater National Forest (CNF) in Idaho. Lynx are at the southern periphery of their range in Idaho, and although once present on the CNF, now are apparently extinct or very rare in the area. The United States Fish and Wildlife Service is currently reviewing the status of lynx in the contiguous United States and may decide to add the species to the Endangered Species List (ESL). If the species does become listed, measures to protect native lynx may be implemented, including possible road closures and restrictions on activities in natural areas. Preliminary work undertaken on the CNF in anticipation of the release suggested that the area likely could support a viable population of lynx. Also, the Fish and Wildlife Service ruled that released lynx would not be covered under the Endangered Species Act because of their non-native status...
