Groups seek Endangered Species Act protection for Midwest moose
 
 










Two groups filed a legal petition Thursday seeking federal Endangered Species Act protection for moose in the Midwest.

 



The Center for Biological Diversity and Honor the Earth noted the sharp drop in Minnesota's moose population in recent years.

"If we don't protect them, moose could be lost forever from the North Woods," said Collette Adkins of the Center for Biological Diversity. "Growing up in Minnesota, I loved seeing moose during family vacations up north. It's a tragedy that today kids like my own only know this symbol of the north woods as stuffed toys in tourist gift shops."

The petition includes moose in northern Minnesota, northeastern North Dakota, the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and Isle Royale, as well as a small population in Wisconsin.


The groups reported that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must respond to the petition by issuing a "90-day finding" on whether the petition warrants further review.
