On Saturday, September 22, a vehicle struck and killed a female black bear (Ursus americanus) as she tried to cross Federal Highway 2 in the Sky Islands region of Sonora, México, where black bears are considered endangered.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finalized a deeply flawed recovery plan for the Mexican gray wolf. Responding to objections from state officials, the plan limits recovery efforts to south of Interstate 40 and sets population targets well below what federal scientists have determined are needed for Mexican gray wolves to be considered stable.
