WOLVES
Legislators want to remove the gray wolf from endangered list.
Facing extinction, the gray wolf became protected under the Endangered Species Act in the 1970s. It was reintroduced to the northern Rockies and parts of the South-west, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had great success in restoring wolves in the Rockies.
The northern Rockies' population of wolves has been proposed to be de-listed, but there is no doubt that this proposal has been blocked.
Here is a graph of the minimum population count of gray wolves within Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. As you can see, from 1999 to 2003 the population soared up to 55, in the next two years , the count shrank a little bit. In the 2006 count, numbers rocketed to 59, but within 3 years the count had fallen, just as in 2005. But now the number is growing and this is the reason why gray wolves can be removed from the endangered list.
