[California] Lawmakers Push Bill to Remove Gray Wolves from Endangered Species List
From SierraDailyNews.com:
The ongoing debate over gray wolf management in California highlights the tension between conservation efforts and the realities faced by rural communities. Under both the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the California Endangered Species Act (CESA), gray wolves are protected, making any form of lethal removal without special authorization illegal. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) is primarily responsible for managing wolf populations, employing non-lethal methods such as deterrents and monitoring to mitigate conflicts.
