Wolf Advocates Speak Out in the West; Lobo's Population Counts are in; Will Wolverines Finally Catch a Break?
Defenders of Wildlife
Feb. 8, 2013
Over the past 12 years, Defenders has fought hard to get wolverines the federal protection they deserve. We are happy to report that on February 1st, 2013 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service finally proposed to protect wolverines in the Lower 48 under the Endangered Species Act.
The annual population count is in for wild Mexican gray wolves in Arizona and New Mexico. While the numbers are up, their future remains uncertain. For this population to thrive, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service needs to take immediate action to help this imperiled species.
With a recent slew of state and agency meetings in Idaho and Washington, our amazing wolf advocates rose to the occasion — speaking out against poor wolf management practices by testifying, questioning and learning about key issues that affect the future of wolves in their region.
Hope and progress for the wolverine!
