Lynn Rogers is an independent scientist who has been studying bears for decades and has educated the public on bears and their northern habitat, including calling for the preservation of the last remaining white pines of Minnesota's Arrowhead Region.

The moose doesn't have such a staunch and visible supporter & protector as Dr. Lynn Rogers. We may lose the moose, partially because they do not have such a strong advocate defending their survival in Minnesota.

Dr. Rogers has been a scientific and scholarly voice who has been free from the influence and control of politically motivated and controlled regulatory agencies. Regulatory agencies which have allowed the hunting of a declining moose population, as well as the permitting & promoting of hugely destructive mining projects in their northern habitat.

Look at what has happened to the wolf in Minnesota. A politically pressured and influenced MDNR moved forward with a hugely unpopular hunting and trapping season on wolves, which were just delisted from the Endangered Species Act.

The MDNR should reinstate Dr. Lynn Rogers' permit to conduct research on black bears.
