This month, we received disheartening news regarding the decision of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. After two years of review, they determined that protecting the Northern Rockies Grey Wolves under the Endangered Species Act was “unwarranted.” This decision exposes the population to increased vulnerability concerning genetic viability and heightened risk of extirpation, as it allows intense trapping, hunting, and aerial gunning of gray wolves in the Northern Rockies to continue.

But this is not the end. Their decision is now challengeable under federal law. Ten other conservation groups and IWCN initiated legal action against the Department of the Interior and the Service for their failure to safeguard wolves.
