Scientists urge restoration of federal gray wolf protections
A coalition of 115 scientists urged Interior Secretary Haaland and FWS chief Williams to reinstate protections for gray wolves after the service removed most U S wolves from the endangered list in January. They argue state hunts threaten recovery and dispersal, noting high kill counts in Wisconsin Montana and Idaho amid ongoing lawsuits. Wolves now number about 4400 in the Great Lakes states and over 2000 in the Northern Rockies and Pacific Northwest with continued controversy over management and potential fall hunts.
