The EIS will direct how APHIS will manage damage and threats caused by wildlife such as bears, mountain lions, coyotes, common ravens and wolves. When completed, the EIS will replace APHIS’ environmental assessments on predator damage management in Southern Idaho, predator damage management in Northern and Central Idaho, and gray wolf damage management in Idaho.
