SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) — Bonner County commissioners in northern Idaho have approved spending up to $10,000 as part of plan to have Selkirk Mountain woodland caribou taken off the federal endangered species list.
The Bonner County Daily Bee reports (http://bit.ly/xsr84e) that commissioners on Tuesday unanimously approved a plan that involves a contract with the Pacific Legal Foundation.
Commissioners also approved a memorandum of understanding that allows the public to contribute money to the effort.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed mountain caribou as a protected species in 1984.
