WA gray wolf population down for the first time in 16 years. Is that bad?
From BellinghamHerald.com:
For the first time in 16 years, Washington state’s overall gray wolf population decreased from the year before, based on information gathered by the state’s Department of Fish and Wildlife and its tribal partners, including the Spokane Tribe of Indians, the Swinomish Tribe, the Yakama Nation and the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation. However, recovery goals were met in multiple regions, and the presence of wolf packs increased slightly.
