Gray Wolf (Canis lupus)Court ruling places western Great Lakes Gray Wolf back under Endangered Species Act protections - September 30, 2008 Our Solicitors are working on the next steps that the Service will take to address the court ruling. When new information is available, we will post it on this site. - - - - - - - - - - - - Final Rule to Delist the Gray Wolf Western Great Lakes Distinct Population SegmentThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed ESA protection for the Gray Wolf Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment. The final rule to delist this Distinct Population Segment was published in the Federal Register on February 8, 2007 and took effect on March 12, 2007. Since the gray wolf was first listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) in 1974, recovery programs have helped populations of this species rebound from the lows experienced during the middle of the 20th century. Today, wolf recovery has been achieved in the Western Great Lakes region of the United States which is why the gray wolf was delisted in the Western Great Lakes area. Following Delisting of the Gray Wolf Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment, a draft Post-delisting Monitoring Plan was published for public review and comment. Comments on the plan are due on or before July 5, 2007. Below are documents pertaining to the final rule to delist and the draft post-delisting monitoring plan.
