Gray Wolf (Canis lupus)
Archived Information - 2003 Final Rule to Reclassify/Delist the Gray Wolf
Below is
information about the Final Rule to Reclassify
and Delist the Gray Wolf in Portions of the United States that was
published in the Federal Register on April 1, 2003. However, on January 31, 2005, a U.S. District Court in
Portland, Oregon vacated and enjoined that Rule and the Department
of Justice declined to appeal the decision. The Vermont
District Court ruled similarly. Therefore, the Service considers that
the gray wolf reverted back to the ESA status that existed prior to the 2003 reclassification.
