WAUSAU, WI – Congressman Tom Tiffany (WI-07) today applauded President Trump’s executive action directing the Department of the Interior to determine whether gray wolves meet the criteria for removal from protections under the Endangered Species Act and begin the process of delisting them.

WASHINGTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump on Friday signed executive orders aimed at helping cattle ranchers protect their herds from wolves, expand meat processing and move toward country-of-origin labeling, as his administration seeks to bring down record-high beef prices.
From Newsweek.com:
President Donald Trump has ordered a federal review of the protected status of gray wolves and Mexican wolves, launching a process that could lead to rolling back Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for them across the United States.
Under an executive order signed Friday, the interior secretary is directed to determine whether gray or Mexican wolves meet the criteria for delisting or downlisting, and to initiate rulemaking if warranted.

Pleasant Island in Alaska is not exactly befitting of its name. The frigid, 20-square-mile island is uninhabited by humans, but it hosts a remarkably large and rich ecosystem that features deer, otters, red squirrels, and even brown bears. But in 2013, the island got a new addition: wolves.
When wolves colonized the island in 2013, it set up a natural experiment.

The California Department of Fish and Wildlife has approved new hazing options for ranchers living in counties with gray wolves present.
State officials have scheduled training sessions throughout impacted areas that, once completed, will qualify ranchers to receive permits to use paint and inert powder projectiles along with sustained pursuit to prevent wolves from attacking livestock.

Like a shadow, the North American wolf’s mythic reputation looms larger and darker than the actual being. How wolves have been perceived globally—and their impact on prosperous industries—has led to a wide eradication of the species over hundreds of years, a 2026 documentary film outlines.
At the Ellen Theatre in Bozeman, the local premiere of “In the Company of Wolves: An American Journey” followed by a panel of experts explained what it means when wolves disappear and how perspectives are changing.
From The Steamboat Pilot:
In early August, Colorado Parks and Wildlife announced that a licensed hunter had killed a gray wolf in January after reportedly mistaking it for a coyote. The hunter was leveled with a $139.50 fine and some suspension points on his hunting license.
The disciplinary action was criticized by wildlife and wolf advocates, who expressed concerns that it was not a harsh enough punishment to disincentivize individuals from killing gray wolves in the future — particularly amid the state’s controversial and emotionally charged wolf reintroduction program.

The big, bad wolf has an intimidating reputation, but by and large, North American grey wolves aren’t aggressive to humans. That said, wolves in the United States have faced significant threats to their populations, including habitat loss and humans hunting them. But in America’s National Forests, some still walk free in the country’s wilds.

Wild Ranch and Working Dogs for Conservation came together for 10 days in North Park in August to test a new idea to aid producers dealing with wolf-livestock conflict.
The International Wolf Center uses science-based education to teach and inspire the world about wolves, their ecology, and the wolf-human relationship.
