Bowing to public pressure, the National Park Service has decided to scrap a controversial plan to remove wild horses from Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota.
In a short statement Thursday, park officials said they were “terminating” work on an environmental assessment and planning that began in the winter of 2021.
“The decision was made after careful consideration of the information and public comment received during the EA process,” the park said.
