MISSOULA — A conservation group is suing the U.S. Geological Survey for information on threatened grizzly bears in Northwest Montana.
The Alliance for the Wild Rockies says the USGS failed to respond to a Freedom of Information Act request for reports and findings on the Cabinet-Yaak Grizzly Bear DNA Project.
The project aims to give researchers a better idea of the number of bears in that area through DNA from hair samples.
The group says it has not received a response to its request after 2 1/2 months.
