Endangered species

Three years of cancelled salmon seasons have devastated the industry. Now, salmon fishing is expected to finally reopen. Will it be enough for the industry to survive?

Newsom promised to help a Native tribe restore sacred salmon to their ancestral river. Now California is ending the funding.

A new bill in the state Legislature could be key in returning the grizzly bear to California. It would require the Department of Fish and Wildlife to create a ‘roadmap’ for reintroduction by June 2028.

The federal government denied a petition to list Chinook salmon along the Oregon and Northern California coasts as endangered.

Salmon are once again making their way up the Klamath River following a massive dam removal project. But some are now worried about keeping the fish off agricultural land.

The Northwest Forest Plan has long protected vulnerable species like spotted owls in federal forests along the West Coast.

California wildlife officials have been working to mitigate the impact of the state's rebounding wolf population on its ranchers. The Northern California wolves that were euthanized had become dependent on cattle for food.

The Bureau of Reclamation proposal faces opposition from the Klamath Tribes over fish survival.

The latest lawsuit is part of nearly 20-year fight to protect the red tree vole that has lost 65% of its Oregon Coast old-growth habitat to logging and wildfire.

Unusually high mortality for gray whales along the coast has researchers concerned for the recovering species.

Gray wolves were absent from California for nearly a century due to hunting and habitat loss. But that changed in the 2010s, when the species began to travel into California from nearby states.

Oregon wildlife officials counted more gray wolves than ever last winter, a promising sign for the federally endangered species.
