In Washington, a federal appeals court has ruled that the
controversial Huckleberry Mountain land exchange needs more
study.
Land swaps, in which the Forest Service and BLM trade odd
parcels of public land for ecologically valuable private land, have
a long history in the West, but some say the trades too often
profit land spectators at the expense of the public and the
land.

desert bighorn, has problems of its own.

Americans revered the bighorn sheep.
Scientists find that adult bighorn males - whose horns are
a symbol of virility - spend much of their adult lives in
homosexual societies.
The Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep has fought its way back
from near extinction, but efforts to reintroduce it to all its
former range are more difficult than they appear.
Record numbers of winter visitors to Yellowstone create
controversy about how to manage visitor- and snowmobile-caused
problems.

Yellowstone rouses opposition from both local citizens and national
politicians.

slaughtered because of brucellosis fears.
Yellowstone's growing bison population provokes
controversy over brucellosis when they stray past park's
boundaries.
Six different applications have been files for constructing reservoirs in Wyoming's Sunlight Basin, just east of Yellowstone National Park.
For the past year and a half, development near Cody, Wyo., has been stalled while the county writes and adopts comprehensive zoning regulations.
