Delisting

Listed as endangered in 1974, wolves were one of the first species to be placed on the Endangered Species Act. Recently, the US Fish and Wildlife Service put the finishing touches on a plan decreasing the protections of gray wolves in the lower 48 states. With this comes a new status for wolves, in most of the Unites States they are now listed as threatened, rather than endangered. The agency's premature downlisting is likely to reverse the wolf's recovery progress and push it back to the edge of extinction.
