“The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has recently announced that gray wolves in the Western Great Lakes region have reecovered from near-extinction–a remarkable conservation success story! Protections provided by the Endangered Species Act allowed these wolves, once nearly stricken from the landscape, to return to healthy levels.
Unfortunately, this proposed change to the Endangered Species Act protections for wolves could also strip crucial protections from still-recovering eastern wolves.
The FWS is contending that wolves in 29 states are a distinct and different species and not protected by the Endangered Species Act. They are proposing removing protections currently in place while they undertake a post de-listing status review of what they contend is a new species of wolves. This would be part of the proposed rule that would de-list wolves in the Western Great Lakes region.
Please ask the FWS to seperate these two proposals and to leave current Endangered Species Act protections in place until the best available science shows that they have recovered.

Done.
Thanks Daniel! Go wolf pack!
Wolf Preservation keep up the good work and some way some how we can beat these people want them dead.
Wolves are very beneficial to our ecosystem. They keep the herds moving and by doing this the trees grow and the gcrasses grow. Besides hunting the sick,weak, lame and old. Which keeps the herds healthy.
Thanks for the supportive words Barbara!
