Feds agree to draft new national recovery plan for gray wolves
From MPR News:
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has agreed to draft a new national recovery plan for gray wolves as part of a legal settlement approved by a federal judge in the District of Columbia.
The agreement comes in response to a lawsuit filed by the Arizona-based Center for Biological Diversity.
The group had challenged the agency’s decision in 2020 to remove most gray wolves from Endangered Species Act protection. A federal court later restored wolf protections in the lower 48 states.
