In response to work by the Center for Biological Diversity and our  
partners, the US Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed more than 375,000  
acres of protected critical habitat for mountain caribou in northern Idaho  
and northeastern Washington -- a victory for these rare alpine animals, but  
not a complete one.
Caribou once ranged across the upper Midwest and Northeast, but the  
northern Rocky Mountains are now their last stronghold in the contiguous  
United States. The proposed protected habitat should be expanded to include  
areas where the caribou formerly ranged.
Please write to the US Fish and Wildlife Service and voice your support for  
protecting more of the caribou's last habitat in the lower 48.
