SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The draft report summarizes the status of 
several issues, including mining activities, threats to bison, threats 
to cutthroat trout, water quality, road impacts, and visitor use 
impacts, which raised the concerns of the World Heritage Committee in 
1995 and led to the park's inclusion the List of World Heritage in 
Danger that year. The World Heritage Committee removed Yellowstone 
National Park from the In Danger List in 2003, and at that time 
requested that the United States submit a report to the Committee on 
the status of these issues every two years.
