After spending nearly 6 decades on the endagered species list, the Gray Wolf has now been delisted.
The gray wolf has been federally protected under the Endagered Species Act since 1967, but after reviewing the best available scientific data, FWS determined the wolf population no longer meets the definition of an endangered or threatened species under the ESA. The President of the National Association of Conservation District Tim Palmer called the announcement a “credit to the hard work of locally led conservation.”
NACD has supported removal of the gray wolf from ESA’s endangered and threatened species list based upon best available science.
