The federal government is making a fourth run at removing gray wolves in Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota from the Endangered Species List.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will publish a notice in the Federal Register on Tuesday in response to petitions filed by Wisconsin, Minnesota and several groups to take the gray wolf off the list in the western Great Lakes region, which has about 4,000 wolves.
Publication will start a new 12-month review to determine whether “delisting” the wolf in the region is warranted, including a 60-day public comment period.
The federal government’s three previous efforts failed — blocked by courts or withdrawn over procedural errors.
Environmental groups are fighting the proposal. Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity said today the government needs a national wolf recovery plan instead.
