By late spring or early summer, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service may propose removing the western population of gray wolf from the endangered species list. After delisting, states would inherit responsibility for managing the wolf populations outside the national parks, as they do for black bear, deer, elk and mountain lion.

Mount Everest Expedition "We are wheeling the gray wolf out of the emergency room and into long-term care," says Ed Bangs, a biologist and a coordinator of the USFWS wolf recovery program in Helena, Mont. Delisting would not signal open season on wolves, according to Bangs. "There would probably be more liberal taking of problem wolves," he says, "and a regulated public hunting season."

The first of 35 wolves is released north of Salmon, Idaho, in January, 1995. AP file The gray wolf remains on the Endangered Species List to this day and the Central Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition wants the estimated 260 descendants from the 1995-96 releases out of the state immediately, calling them "land piranhas and wildlife terrorists." "The feds had no plan. They just dumped them off and they've taken off like rabbits in Australia," said Stanley hunting outfitter Ron Gillett, an impatient coalition founder. "Let's say this drags on for another 10 years. Do you know how many wolves we're going to have in 10 years?" Organizations in the other Rocky Mountain reintroduction states of Montana and Wyoming share that sentiment and opposition is emerging in Utah and Wyoming as wolves disperse there. The Idaho group is gathering funds, running anti-wolf newspaper ads and cornering political leaders to talk.

The Topic: Wolves Easier - A wolf is a wild animal that looks like a dog. Wolves are in the same family as pet dogs. Wolves live in remote forests. They hunt in packs and feed on deer, elk, and reindeer. Harder - A wolf is a carnivorous mammal. When hunting, they often howl as a signal to other wolves in their pack. Females have four to six pups each spring. In many areas, the wolves are nearly gone because they were killed by humans. Wolf recovery programs are reintroducing wolves to remote forests. Many people such as ranchers are unhappy about these wolves. They say that the wolves will kill their cattle and sheep. Others see the reintroduction as important in reestablishing a balance in nature.

FACTS about wolves: Possibly no animal has been so misunderstood, feared, hated, and persecuted throughout history as the wolf. The gray wolf, also called the timber wolf, is the largest of about 41 wild species within the dog family, Canidae, of the order Carnivora. With the exception of the red wolf of southeastern Texas and southern Louisiana, all living wolves are considered a single species, Canis lupus. The red wolf, Canis rufus, is similar to but smaller than the gray wolf and is intermediate in many characteristics between wolves and coyotes; it has been suggested that the red wolf is a fertile cross between gray wolves and coyotes. There are 32 recognized subspecies of the gray wolf, but most taxonomists think this number is high.

26. USFWS: Wolves In North America Mexican wolves are listed as endangered. Mexican wolves were listed asendangered in 1976, and a joint recovery effort with Mexico began. http://midwest.fws.gov/wolf/learn/namerica.htm

Wolf Recovery in North America pdf version Before the arrival of European settlers, wolves ranged widely across the continent, from coast to coast and from Canada to Mexico. Two species are found in North America, the gray wolf, with its various subspecies, and the red wolf. Historically, gray wolves were found throughout most of the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with red wolves primarily inhabiting the southeastern United States. Wolves play an important role as predator in the ecosystems they inhabit. They feed primarily on large mammals, such as deer and elk, removing sick and injured animals from the populations. They are highly social, living in packs and hunting and raising young cooperatively. As the country was settled, native prey species dropped and numbers of domestic animals increased. As wolves turned to livestock for prey, efforts were made to eradicate wolves throughout their range. In the United States, large-scale predator control programs were carried out, with wolves hunted and killed nearly to extinction. Gray wolves in the Lower 48 States now number over 3,700. Currently all gray wolves in the Lower 48 States, with the exception of the Mexican wolf in the Southwest, are listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Mexican wolves are listed as endangered.

29. Endangered Mexican Wolves May Be Moved To Gila National Forest Local Meetings Held in New Mexico endangered Mexican wolves May Be Movedto Gila National Forest Defenders of Wildlife today applauded http://www.defenders.org/releases/pr2000/pr030100.html

For Immediate Release March 1, 2000 Contact: newsroom@defenders.org Local Meetings Held in New Mexico: Endangered Mexican Wolves May Be Moved to Gila National Forest Defenders of Wildlife today applauded the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) proposal to translocate wild endangered Mexican gray wolves from the Blue Range in Arizona to the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. The future recovery of Mexican wolves hinges directly on their ability to establish territories within the Gila National Forest. Translocations into the Gila Wilderness will significantly benefit wolf recovery by allowing wolves to be located in areas with no roads and few livestock. This will minimize conflict, advance recovery, reduce costs and promote overall program acceptance and success. "We strongly support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal because the Gila National Forest is the safest and best habitat for wolves in the Southwest," said Craig Miller, Southwest representative of Defenders. "Ensuring that the Mexican wolf recovery program is successful is vital because wolves help maintain fundamental ecological processes that are the foundation of a balanced, healthy wilderness." Under Endangered Species Act provisions, translocating the Mexican wolves to the Gila Wilderness is an acceptable management technique that could serve the interests of both people and wolves by allowing the animals to be placed in remote areas.

30. Red Wolves Allowed To Remain - Defenders Of Wildlife lands.” The appeals court found that the taking – or killing – of red wolves,and endangered species in general, directly affects interstate commerce. http://www.defenders.org/releases/pr2000/pr060700.html

For Immediate Release June 7, 2000 Contact: newsroom@defenders.org Red Wolves Allowed To Remain: Appeals Court Upholds Endangered Red Wolf Program Washington, DC – A court decision upholding a federal regulation that forbids the indiscriminate killing endangered red wolves on private property is “a significant victory for the Endangered Species Act,” said Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife. Schlickeisen was commenting on the ruling in a case involving two North Carolina counties and landowners in the state who filed suit seeking to have the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) regulation declared to be beyond the federal government’s authority. On Tuesday, the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals held that the special regulation is constitutional because it ensures continued wolf-related activities pertaining to interstate commerce, including tourism and scientific research. “This is a major victory for the survival of the red wolf and an even bigger victory for the Endangered Species Act because more than 90 percent of wildlife species have some or all of their habitat on nonfederal lands,” said Schlickeisen. “The appeals court ruling reaffirms the authority of the federal government to protect our endangered species from indiscriminate killing on private lands.”

American range only); becoming more common in Lake Superior states and northern Rockies CONSERVATION: reintroduction plans in Yellowstone, Idaho, and Montana; IUCN specialist groups recommend reintroduction programs for parts of Europe; CITES trade restrictions The gray wolf had the greatest natural range of any living terrestrial mammal other than humans. The gray wolf has recently been downlisted to "lower risk" by the IUCN Wolves inevitably prefer wild game to livestock. In North America, bison, deer, elk, moose, and beaver head the wolf's menu. This underlines the importance of reintroducing natural prey in areas where wolves are being restored. In accounts from the last two centuries, wolves were often begrudgingly admired by their human executioners. Many stories portray them avoiding traps, refusing bait, and dodging bullets. Wolves can make themselves vomit at the first sign of nausea or irritation. Until the development of strychnine, they were considered almost impossible to poison.

Home delivery Gray wolves in Michigan no longer endangered March 19, 2003 BY ERIC SHARP FREE PRESS OUTDOORS WRITER Gray wolves in Michigan and most other states will be removed from the federal endangered species list and now will be considered threatened. The move will allow the state Department of Natural Resources to kill a few problem wolves that have preyed on cattle and sheep in the Upper Peninsula. Ron Refsnider, a wolf recovery biologist for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, said the change goes into effect as soon as the rule can be published in the Federal Register next week. The federal agency next will begin the process of removing all protection from most of the nation's gray wolves, including roughly 300 in the UP, Refsnider said. Wolf management in Michigan will be turned over to the DNR. Removing wolves from the threatened list could take about two years, and Refsnider acknowledged that opposition from animal-rights groups could delay that. Taking away all protection eventually could allow Michigan and other states to hold limited wolf hunts, Refsnider said. But the Fish and Wildlife Service would monitor wolf populations for five years after management was turned over to the states, and the wolves could be reclassified if their numbers dropped sharply.

E.Q. Says: Recently the federal government proposed taking the gray wolf off the endangered species lists in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The status of the gray wolf may also be "downlisted" from endangered to threatened in Maine, New York, and Montana. However, its cousin, the red wolf, or Canis rufus, continues to be endangered. The red wolf is smaller than the gray wolf and larger than a coyote, weighing about 40 to 66 pounds. It has reddish or grayish fur and is native to the southeastern United States. Through a conservation effort, it is being re-introduced into Tennessee and the Carolinas. by Tin Mai Gray wolves wolves are not only gray. They can actually range in color from white to black. But gray is the predominant color. A mature gray wolf, or Canis lupus, is good-sized, generally weighing between 75 to 115 pounds. This is enormous compared to a coyote whose weight is closer to 35 pounds. The foot print or "track" of the wolf is about 5 inches long whereas the track of the coyote is only 3 inches long. Over time, the gray wolf has had the greatest distribution of any mammal other than humans in North America.

PUBLIC BELIEFS AND ATTITUDESTOWARDS PROTECTING wolves, endangered SPECIES AND NATURAL RESOURCES IN WISCONSIN. http://www.dnr.state.wi.us/org/land/er/publications/wolfplan/appendix/appendix_h

Appendix H. Public Attitudes Towards Wolves in Wisconsin by Matthew A. Wilson Departments of Sociology and Rural Sociology 350 Agriculture Hall University of Wisconsin-Madison In 1997, I conducted a study of public attitudes towards, knowledge of, and behavioral relations with wolves, rare and endangered wildlife, and natural resources in Wisconsin. A self-administered survey questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of all registered license plate owners in Wisconsin, as well as a random sample of all license plate owners who purchased the new Endangered Resources (ER) license plate provided by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, Bureau of Endangered Resources. The overall response rate to the mail survey was 78.7 percent, with response rates of 87.2 percent for Endangered Species license plate owners and 69.7 percent for all Wisconsin license plate owners. Various results are included in this report regarding public support for endangered resources and environmental protection in Wisconsin. Information is reviewed as regards to public knowledge of, and attitudes towards, wolves, rare and endangered species and proposed statewide policies that might affect them. Basic attitudes towards environmental conservation and endangered species protection are also explored among various constituencies and demographic groups in the state. The data for this analysis were obtained from the responses of randomly selected respondents drawn from Wisconsin Department of Transportation (DOT) license plate records last updated in January 1997. All responses were entered, coded, and statistically analyzed at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Department of Rural Sociology using SPSS statistical software.
