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.

INDEPENDENT POLICY REPORT SUMMARY WOLF RECOVERY, POLITICAL ECOLOGY, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES By Charles E. Kay 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.

Commonly Asked Questions About Wolves in the Upper Midwest Sigurd Olson Environmental Institute / Timber Wolf Alliance / September 2002 Why did wolves disappear? State and federal bounties (no longer in effect), loss of habitat. poaching, car kills, disease, starvation and parasites have all contributed to their decline. Today, thanks largely to protection provided by the 1973 Endangered Species Act, wolf populations have returned and are growing in the Upper Midwest. How did wolves return to the Upper Great Lakes region? Wolves were not "reintroduced" or transplanted in Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan from other states or countries, as some believe, although in 1974 an unsuccessful attempt to reintroduce 4 wolves in Michigan's Upper Peninsula from Minnesota occurred. All four were dead within a year. Unlike the reintroduction effort in Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho, wolves of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan returned on their own. With the protection from the Endangered Species Act, passed in 1973, wolves were allowed to return without legal persecution from humans. Wolves emigrated from Ontario, into Minnesota. From Minnesota, wolves have moved into Wisconsin and Michigan's western Upper Peninsula. Wolves also emigrated from Ontario via the islands adjacent to Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan and moved into the eastern Upper Peninsula. What are the current numbers of wolves and wolf packs in Wisconsin and Michigan?

86. RESTORE: Endangered Wildlife: Updates This means giving wolves the “endangered” status protection they deserve, an ecologically sound recovery plan, and the wilderness habitat the species http://www.restore.org/Wildlife/News/wolfrecovery.html

Wolves Deserve an Ecologically Sound Recovery Plan by Kristin DeBoer July 25, 2000 The good news is that northeastern wolf recovery has finally become a national conservation priority. Eight years ago, RESTORE: The North Woods was the first and only conservation organization to advocate for wolf recovery in the North Woods of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. At the time, the notion of wolves reinhabiting this part of the world seemed implausible to many people. Since then a wolf recovery movement has blossomed. This kind of management undermines an ecologically sound approach to wolf recovery. Wild wolves should be restored to wild habitat, not treated as if they live in open-air zoos. Wherever there is wild prey, suitable habitat, and public acceptance, wolves should be allowed to roam wild and free. Wolf recovery is not only about ensuring the long-term survival of the species, it is about restoring functional ecosystems that will benefit the full range of wildlife and human communities that depend on them. Moreover, increasingly unstable land ownership raises serious questions about agreements with corporate owners being honored in the future. In just the last two years, five million acres or 25 percent of the state of Maine have changed hands. A wolf recovery plan that relies on the good will of corporate landowners places the long-term viability of the species in shaky hands.

RESTORATION PROTECTION HABITAT News/Alerts ... Links Wolves Making Waves By Rob Edward Director, Carnivore Restoration Anyone following the media coverage of wolf restoration efforts over the past few years knows that wolves are political animals; the vortex of political wrangling has consumed every aspect of their interface with human society. Indeed, this is nothing new. Wolves have always faced an uphill struggle to avoid the wrath wrought by human fear. That fear fomented their eradication from most of their former habitat in North America and Europe, and today may transform the effort to restore the species into a smoke-and-mirrors exercise in tokenism. Wolves once ranged from the Arctic tundra to just north of Mexico City. Over a century of human fear and arrogance has now relegated the species to a fraction of that former expanse. Today, some twenty plus years since wolves were first listed as endangered, the federal government has managed to repatriate the species to less than five percent of its former habitat in the lower forty-eight states. Yet, the government stands ready to soon call the job complete. Double Standards Arbitrary Lines and Political Pandering On the Wild Side In the months and years to come, the debate over wolves in the Southern Rocky Mountains will become a regular feature in the local news cycle. Every Step of the way, Sinapu will be there hammering home the core message of this long-term campaign: The Southern Rockies need wolves to restore the balance of Nature. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to see this effort through. 7

TOP SECRET ANIMAL ATTACK FILES Special Report filed by AAF from The Salt Lake Tribune Wolves May Be Taken Off Endangered List Thursday, October 12, 2000 BY BRENT ISRAELSEN THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE Once upon a time, gray wolves roamed freely throughout North America, filling an important niche in an abundantly diverse chain of wildlife. Today, that chain is broken, largely because of the demise of predators like wolves, whose numbers plummeted a century ago as a result of bounty hunters working to protect livestock. The good news is that in recent years, the wolf has made a comeback. The comeback is so good, says the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, that the wolf no longer needs to be classified as an endangered species. The agency is proposing to "downlist" the species from "endangered" to "threatened" or remove it from the endangered species list altogether in much of the United States. A hearing on the proposal will be held today in Salt Lake City, from 1 to 3 p.m. and from 6 to 8 p.m. at the downtown Hilton Hotel. The irony of today's hearing, one of several being held around the West, is that there are no wolves in Utah, even though the state is part of the FWS-designated "Western population" of the gray wolf.

Current federal law states that wolf populations in the tri-state recovery area (Idaho, Wyoming and Montana) must achieve 30 breeding pairs, equitably distributed for three years, before the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service can initiate a proposal to delist the species. An estimated 664 wolves in 44 or more packs have been documented in the recovery area as of the end of 2002. These numbers mean the federal delisting process could begin as early as 2003. In Idaho alone, wolf populations have increased significantly during the past several years. The fall 1998 population was estimated to be 114 animals. The fall 2001 population was estimated to be 261 wolves. As a result of this continued growth in numbers, biologists expect wolves to eventually begin dispersing from Idaho into Oregon.

The arctic wolf is a race, subspecies, or geographic variant of the gray wolf ( Canis lupus The arctic wolf lives in the area along the northern edge of the North American continent and northward to the North Pole, as well as along the eastern and northern shores of Greenland. Several large islands occupy the region between the north edge of the continent and the Pole. Although ice and snow permanently cover much of the area, parts of these islands become snow free between mid-June and mid-August and support enough low-growing plants to feed musk-oxen, Peary caribou, and arctic hares. These creatures constitute most of the food supply for the white wolves [ ] that live in this place called the "High Arctic."

Endangered species are species that are in danger of extinction throughout all or a significant portion of their range. It is unlawful to kill, harm, or harass endangered species. LISTED: 43 Federal Register 9612; March 9, 1978 (48 conterminous states except Minnesota). HISTORICAL STATUS: The gray wolf had the greatest distribution of any mammal other than man and was historically found throughout North America with the exception of parts of the southwest and southeast United States. In the southeast U.S. the gray wolf was replaced by the smaller red wolf. The gray wolf was present throughout Montana. PRESENT STATUS: The gray wolf is extirpated from the lower 48 states with the exception of Minnesota and small populations in Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Idaho, and Washington. Montana wolf populations are found in the Glacier National Park— Bob Marshall Wilderness complex and in the extreme southwestern part of the state. Wolf populations have recovered in Minnesota and are recovering in other areas of the lower 48 states. HABITAT: Historically, the gray wolf occupied almost all habitats in North American including the Great Plains.
