Ralph – A summary of the USFWS delisting proposals and key points to mention in comments will be forthcoming from various wolf conservation groups.
It’s early in the game and pro-wolf folks might want to bide their time a bit before commenting.
Is this removing all areas or only those areas listed? Ralph noted parts of Oregon, Washington and Utah were removed with no documented wolves. The same is true for the Great Lakes Region. For example parts of Illinois , Indiana, and Ohio. The lower section of Michigan also has no documented wolves.
Yes. It’s true for the Great Lakes too. Ralph M
