Group to Sue Fish and Wildlife Service for Reversing Course on Gray Wolf Recovery Plan
From FlatheadBeacon.com:
As Montana adopts increasingly aggressive measures to shrink its wolf population, a conservation group on Tuesday announced plans to sue federal wildlife managers over their refusal to issue a first-of-its-kind national recovery plan for gray wolves under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Calling the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s (FWS) decision an “unlawful” policy reversal that undermines the long-term recovery of wolves, the Center for Biological Diversity on Dec. 2 filed the 60-day notice of its intent to sue FWS, per statutory requirements of the ESA. The Center for Biological Diversity intends to file its formal lawsuit in early February.
