Legal Ledger Brief: Gray wolf reviewed for listing

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) will conduct a 12-month long status review over whether or not the gray wolf should be given a designation under the Endangered Species Act. The National Cattlemen’s Beef Association (NCBA) expressed their disappointment with USFWS moving forward with their review.

“It is unacceptable for the Service to continue to be held hostage by groups who want nothing more than to turn the Endangered Species Act into a permanent management tool,” said NCBA Executive Director of Natural Resources and Public Lands Council Executive Director Kaitlynn Glover.

“We are confident that the review will confirm what we’ve known to be true for years: Gray wolves are recovered and no longer need or meet the requirements for listing under the Endangered Species Act.”
