The US Fish and Wildlife Service is still considering their draft proposal to delist gray wolves in the West, with the exception of Mexican wolves in the Southwest.
To make this easier they are also trying to re-write history and the intent of the 1973 Endangered Species Act and the 1978 relisting of the gray wolf throughout most of the United States by redefining what is meant by “significant portion of its range” and even the concept of a species range itself. We must reverse this trend as wolves are just beginning to return to historic habitats and need thier federal protections maintained.
