IV. MANAGEMENT GOAL AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR DELISTED STATUS
The Wisconsin DNR proposes to delist wolves as neither state endangered or threatened when a late winter count of 250 wolves are achieved outside of Native American reservations in the state. At the delisted level, landowner control on nuisance or problem wolves can occur, and control can be expanded for law-enforcement officers. The state population management goal would be a late winter count of 350 outside of Native American reservations. At the management goal, proactive depredation control can be authorized.
A. Background
The Wisconsin Wolf Advisory Committee spent a great deal of time developing the delisting level and establishing a population management goal. Four major factors were considered in the development of the population goals:
  • The goal needed to meet or exceed federal recovery criteria. The goal must represent a population level that can be supported by the available habitat. The goal needed to be compatible with existing information on gray wolf population viability analysis.

Description:
The wolf grows to just over 3ft tall and looks like a german Shepherd dog. The wolf's colours are red, gray, white and black. The Arctic Wolf eats moose, fish, other wolves, polar bears, lemmings, walrus and bunnies. It will attack people and any other animals. Other wolves and humans are the Artic Wolve's enemies. Wolves drink cool water. Their colours blend in with the gray, green and brown colours of the forest. The Arctic Wolf has a thick layer of fur and their teeth are really sharp to help them kill their prey.
Environment:
The Arctic Wolf shelters is in the forests of the Arctic. Wolves live in Canada from Labrador to British Columbia and in the Yukon and Northwest Territories.
Problems:
They loose their habitat because of cutting trees, pollution and garbage. At least 196 wolves a year are killed.
Solutions:
I am trying to get people to save them by encouraging them to write letters to their governments.

Description:
Common name: Gray Wolf
Scientific name: Canis lupus The gray wolf has a grayish brown colored fur. Its ears are pointed upward. Some gray wolves are white or black depending on where it began its life. Male wolves are about 7 feet long. Female wolves are about 5 feet long. The gray wolf weighs about 45 - 175 pounds.
Environment:
Most wolves live in Europe, Asia and North America. Gray wolves mostly live in Asia and Europe. The grayish white wolves live in Asia and grayish black wolves live in Europe. The grayish brown wolves live in North America.
Problems:
Gray wolves are endangered because of hunting and pollution. They have been hunted because some people are afraid of them. Some gray wolves have been hunted for their fur so people can make fur coats and sell them. They'll die very quickly and we'll never be able to see them again. This would be very sad.

Endangered means a species is considered in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range, and threatened means a species may become endangered. In Alaska, wolf populations number 5,900 to 7,200 and are not considered endangered or threatened. Related Resources Arctic Wolf Gray Wolf: Biology Red Wolf Wolf Attacks ...

Wolf Recovery
By Carl P. Close
In 1995, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service began an experimental program to reintroduce wolves to Yellowstone National Park. If the program is successful, the park (which had seen the gray wolf eradicated by the 1920s) will become home to a thriving wolf population and the Yellowstone gray wolf can be removed from the federal endangered species list.
Endangered Wolves, Endangered Science
In Wolf Recovery, Political Ecology, and Endangered Species Kay also argues that wolf advocates myopically neglect the fact that sound conservation requires facing inevitable trade-offs among alternative environmental values. Wolf recovery in Canada, for example, by reducing game hunting, reduced public support for habitat preservation. Consequently, although Canada now has an estimated 60,000 wolves, less land is available to support other fauna and flora. Conservationists, Kay argues, must be wary of putting so much weight on one environmental value that more important ones become threatened.
The Political Ecology of Wolf Recovery
According to published studies on minimum viable population size, a population of far more than 300 wolves would be needed to delist the wolf under the current Endangered Species Act. Kay estimates that a more realistic number of wolves, one with sufficient genetic diversity, is 1500 to 2000. But because wolves can reproduce quickly and disperse widely (by more than 200 miles), a seed population in this range would soon repopulate the entire northern Rockies.

Wolves in Yellowstone
In 1995, scientists began introducing wolves from Canada into Yellowstone National Park. Wolves had disappeared from the Western United States in the early 1900s, and when the Endangered Species Act was passed in 1973, the wolves were listed as an endangered species. Over the last few decades, though, a small number of wolves have been found in some Western states, including Idaho and Montana. As part of the recovery plan for Northern Rocky Mountain wolves, the Department of Interior 's Fish and Wildlife Service recommended introducing an experimental population into Yellowstone National Park. The recovery plan called for introducing 10 breeding pairs of wolves each year for three years. The Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho Farm Bureaus (joined by the Audubon Society) brought suit against the Department of Interior for violating the provisions of the Endangered Species Act by introducing Canadian wolves into an area where indigenous wolves already existed. The U.S. District Court held for the Farm Bureaus and the National Audubon Society and ordered that the reintroduced gray wolves and their offspring be removed from Yellowstone and Idaho. According to the District Court, because the reintroduced wolves are part of an experimental population, the Endangered Species Act permits residents of the area to shoot wolves found preying on livestock. Native wolves, however, would also be in danger of being shot, in violation of the

Full text of House Bill 157
The grey wolf could be removed from the endangered species list if a new resolution, which will be looked at early this week, passes through the House and Senate. The proponent of House Bill 157 , Rep. Michael Styler, feels the recent population increase of western grey wolves, Canis Lupus, no longer warrants the title of endangered. He opposes wolves being implemented in Utah, a proposal put forth by Utah State University, and feels there are not enough resources for the wolves in Utah mountains. He is not alone. Mike Bodenchuk, Utah field director for wildlife services, agrees. "As a biologist I feel a suitable environment for the wolves is lacking (in Utah)," Bodenchuk said. Styler feels taking the status of wolves from endangered to protected will give Utah the right to manage wolves.

http://wolvesonline.port5.com/whywolves.htm
Since the 19th and early 20th century, the wolf has been branded an insatiable killer....a bloodthirsty menace to settlers and their livestock. A kill-or-be-killed monster. These lables were undeserved, but the actions they inspited were very effective. In the last half of the 19th century, an estimated 2 million wolves were shot, trapped or poisoned in the lower 48 states. Today they occupy about 1 percent of their former range. About 2,000 wolves remain in Minnesota; everywhere else they are either extinct or reduced to populations of a few dozen animals. As the West was settled, vast areas of natural habitat were converted to farm and ranch land. Populations of bison, deer, elk and moose, the natural prey of wolves, were scattered and drastically reduced. Naturally, the wolves reacted by turning to sheep and cattle, and the farmers, ranchers, and local officials, in turn, reacted by instituting wolf bounties. It was, of course, no contest. By 1930, wolves had been extripated (locally extinct) in all but the most isolated parts of the U.S. Four decades later, attitudes toward the gray wolf changed. In 1974, the wolf was placed under the protection of the Endangered Species Act, and by the 1980's plans were under way to return it to select portions of its former range. The site most visible (and controversial) is Yellowstone National Park. Since it was established in 1872, the gray wolf is the only vertebrate that has disappeared from the park. In 1994, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service introduced Canadian wolves into Yellowstone, and parts of Idaho and Montana. In May 1995, a reintroduced female wolf gave birth to 8 pups in Yellowstone, the first gray wolf birth in the park in 70 years. The current plan calls for releases to continue, and it is hoped that the wolf will be removed from the list early this century.

Reviewer: Review: The long debate over the reintroduction of the gray wolf to the northern Rockies is a good example of how transactions costs the costs involved in organizing parties on either side of the issue, bringing parties together to bargain, and the actual bargain itself can often impede the bargaining process and delay action, especially in the case of environmental problems. In 1978, the federal government listed the wolf as an endangered species in the lower 48 states (except for a population in Minnesota that was classified as threatened). Two years later, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), which is responsible for protecting endangered species, produced a recovery plan for wolves in the Rocky Mountains which included reintroducing several Canadian wolves into Yellowstone and central Idaho. The first group of wolves was finally released into these regions in January 1995, 15 years after the original proposal. Why was the negotiation process over this issue so drawn out?

    Wolf recovery occurs unnoticed outside Yellowstone
    by Kirk Kirkland Last summer while bicycling across Idaho I heard of several successful wolf recovery plans that were quietly working. Although much of the national publicity has examined wolf recovery in Yellowstone National Park, Idaho's successful reintroduction has occurred with relatively little notice and no law suits. Thirty-five wolves were brought into Idaho from Canada over the last two years. Three breeding pairs produced seven pups. The Nez Perce Tribe is orchestrating the recovery. The tribe succeeded after the state legislature reacted to political pressure and blocked the state's fish and game department from participating in reintroduction programs. The Tribe is in its third year of a programs that calls for monitoring, managing and researching the wolves. The recovery team also meets with ranchers, hunters and school children.

    Endangered Wolves The Maned Wolf The long-legged Maned Wolf from South America is one of the many members of the dog family which is in DANGER of extinction! The maned wolf is being held in zoos and parks to save it from extiction. Many wolves are being hunted for their fur, but also, sometimes because they attack farm animals. The Gray Wolf This wolf is believed to be the ancestors of our domestic dogs. But it is hunted for it's beautiful fur. It is about 6ft in length including his tail. There pack has about 20 wolves. If there is no food the large pack splits up in tiny groups of about 7 wolves. The Desert Wolf Same as the gray wolf, the Desert wolf is hunted for it's fur. This wolf is also in danger of extinction. In the movie "Dances With Wolves", Two Socks, the wolf, is a desert wolf. In this movie, though, it is killed for fun. The Tasmanian Wolf This is an extinct wolf. In 1936 it was gone. You will only see this wolf in pictures. World Wildlife Organizations Back

    Link to Story from Salmon, Idaho, Correspondent and my reaction
    (updated 8-19-98)
    This story about the Moyer Basin Pack menacing a central Idaho rancher's cattle originates from Candice Burns, who writes much of the news about the Idaho wolves for the Idaho Falls paper, the Post-Register . Her stories are then picked up by the "wire." Is Mcgee Latimer's livelihood really endangered? I hope not, but this story is typical of the dire predictions that emanate from the Salmon/Challis area of Idaho Lemhi and Custer counties the hysterical part of Idaho. In this part of Idaho political elites say environmentalists real goal is to run people off their land, the proposal to restore grizzly bears to central Idaho is really a plan to have local folks eaten, and the public lands of the United State really belong to the landed gentry of Lemhi and Custer counties, wilderness is land of "no use," and on-and-on, year-after-year. Now for some pique.

    APR. 28, 1999 NEWS Bill could oust wolves from endangered list Rob Kuznia Staff Reporter
    W olves and livestock don't mix. Just ask Dick LeCocq, president of the Minnesota Cattleman's Association. And before people became concerned about the possibility of wolf extinction, the quick fix to this problem was to kill as many wolves as possible. "The most effective way to do that was mass poisoning," said wildlife biologist and adjunct University professor David Mech while showing a slide depicting a sickly-looking pack of wolves lying in the snow to a crowd of about 100 people at the Great Minnesota Debate in Willey Hall Thursday. By 1970, such methods completely wiped out the wolf from every state except Minnesota, where only 500 remained, he said. So in 1974, the 500 wolves were put on the endangered species list as "threatened," which barred the hunting and trapping of the animals. Since then, the wolf population erupted, causing problems for many farmers in northern Minnesota. "It would be nice to have a few wolves around if they'd behave themselves, but they don't," LeCocq said. In 1974, when just 500 wolves remained, there were no reported livestock casualties, he said. But the casualties have steadily increased in tandem with the wolf-population explosion. Last year, the wolves numbered more than 2,400, while the livestock toll exceeded 118, he said.
