Gray Wolves Lose Protections Under Endangered Species Act

Oct 30, 2020

Gray wolves will no longer be protected under the Endangered Species Act in most of the U.S., federal officials announced this week.

“After more than 45 years as a listed species, the gray wolf has exceeded all conservation goals for recovery," Interior Secretary David Bernhardt said in a statement.

The move was criticized by wildlife advocacy groups and environmentalists who vowed to challenge the decision.

“Stripping protections for gray wolves is premature and reckless," said Defenders of Wildlife President and CEO, Jamie Rappaport Clark, in a statement. "Gray wolves occupy only a fraction of their former range and need continued federal protection to fully recover. We will be taking the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to court to defend this iconic species.”

Dangerous preditors, if not culled as needed, multiply and migrate in all directions, including your neighborhood where your child plays in the yard during a wolf, bear, or coyote's mealtime.
