Picture source: Eastern Timber Wolf Timber Wolves - Endangered Species Timber (Grey) Wolves were once abundant on vast territories. This species was found on the largest part of the northern hemisphere. As humans settled in earlier unexplored areas, they inevitably faced the Wolf. The Timber Wolf was considered the symbol of wilderness. It was admired for its intelligence and determination, courage and endurance. The hunting skills of the Timber Wolf were amazing and caused much respect on the part of the humans. Now the situation is quite the opposite. The Timber Wolf is listed as an endangered species and seems to be close to extinction. Timber Wolves - Causes of Population Decline As humans progressed with farm development, serious cattle damage from Grey Wolves started to occur. The Timber Wolf species was doomed in man's pursuit of genuine desire to protect sheep from this perfect hunter. Timber Wolves became both feared and hated. These powerful feelings led to significant destruction of the Wolf. Timber Wolves experienced a great habitat and prey loss. They were driven out from territories that once belonged to the wild. The Elk, Deer, and other animals that comprised a great portion of the Timber Wolf diet ended up as human prey. The Timber Wolf appeared to be poorly equipped in contrast to humans with their guns, traps, and lust for more territory.

The reclassification, which went into effect on April 1, 2004, reduced federal protections for wolves and authorized more opportunities for lethal control of wolves by private citizens.

A Project of: Defenders of Wildlife 1130 17th St, NW Washington, DC 20036 Just when gray wolves are roaming free again in America, some want to strip federal protections from many of these magnificent animals. This would make it easier to kill wolves throughout most of their historic range in the Lower 48 states. A new federal rule classifying gray wolves in most of the Lower 48 states as merely threatened rather than endangered has just been announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the first step by Interior Secretary Gale Norton toward putting wolves under the control of states where politicians want to eradicate these magnificent animals. Wyoming's state wildlife agency has recently gone on record to allow wolves to be killed like skunks or jackrabbits. Idaho's legislature has voted to remove wolves from their state "by any means necessary." And some Montana politicians want to let citizens shoot wolves on sight by the end of this year.

The country's Directorate for Nature Management will allow five grey wolves to be killed during the current hunting season. Even this small number is causing concern, as Norway's entire wolf population is thought to number only around 25. A female wolf was shot just days after the hunt was approved earlier this month. "Our environment minister is probably the first ever to open a regular hunt on an endangered animal population in his own country," says Rasmus Hansson, secretary-general of WWF-Norway.

IV. MANAGEMENT GOAL AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING ENDANGERED, THREATENED OR DELISTED STATUS The Wisconsin DNR proposes to delist wolves as neither state endangered or threatened when a late winter count of 250 wolves are achieved outside of Native American reservations in the state. At the delisted level, landowner control on nuisance or problem wolves can occur, and control can be expanded for law-enforcement officers. The state population management goal would be a late winter count of 350 outside of Native American reservations. At the management goal, proactive depredation control can be authorized. A. Background The Wisconsin Wolf Advisory Committee spent a great deal of time developing the delisting level and establishing a population management goal. Four major factors were considered in the development of the population goals: The goal needed to meet or exceed federal recovery criteria. The goal must represent a population level that can be supported by the available habitat. The goal needed to be compatible with existing information on gray wolf population viability analysis.

For Immediate Release March 1, 2000 Contact: newsroom@defenders.org Local Meetings Held in New Mexico: Endangered Mexican Wolves May Be Moved to Gila National Forest Defenders of Wildlife today applauded the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) proposal to translocate wild endangered Mexican gray wolves from the Blue Range in Arizona to the Gila National Forest in New Mexico. The future recovery of Mexican wolves hinges directly on their ability to establish territories within the Gila National Forest. Translocations into the Gila Wilderness will significantly benefit wolf recovery by allowing wolves to be located in areas with no roads and few livestock. This will minimize conflict, advance recovery, reduce costs and promote overall program acceptance and success. "We strongly support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal because the Gila National Forest is the safest and best habitat for wolves in the Southwest," said Craig Miller, Southwest representative of Defenders. "Ensuring that the Mexican wolf recovery program is successful is vital because wolves help maintain fundamental ecological processes that are the foundation of a balanced, healthy wilderness." Under Endangered Species Act provisions, translocating the Mexican wolves to the Gila Wilderness is an acceptable management technique that could serve the interests of both people and wolves by allowing the animals to be placed in remote areas.

To keep the population genetically healthy as it grows, zoos collaborate breeding efforts through an American Zoo and Aquarium Association Species Survival Plan (SSP). Wolves from the Species Survival Plan are selected for reintroduction into the wild. But before they go, they live in near-wild conditions in order to get used to living on their own. Wolves are fitted with radio collars so biologists can closely monitor their movements after their release. This type of research is critical to protecting and managing endangered wildlife.

Diverse and Increasingly Rare From the two-pound fennec fox that survives the rigors of Arabian deserts to the 175-pound timber wolf that ranges throughout the wild reaches of the Northern Hemisphere, canids (dog-like mammals) are a diverse and wide-ranging family of mammals. Yet these charismatic cousins of our oldest and most faithful companion, the domestic dog, are rapidly disappearing. Nine of 19 species in the world are listed as "threatened" or "endangered," and several are near extinction due to habitat loss, illegal hunting, and disease. Yet, compared to other carnivores (wild cats and bears), canids receive less public and conservation attention. And amazingly, the reproductive biology of wild canids (the essence of their survival) continues to be a mystery.

These six are among the 90 new wolves that now roam Yellowstone, a result of what environmentalists call the most significant ecological restoration program in history. About 70 years ago, local ranchers and government rangers killed most of the wolves in the West because they attacked cattle and farm animals. By 1926, all the wolves in Yellowstone were gone. (A few wolves living in Minnesota became protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1973.) To rebuild the wolf population in the West, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) brought 66 gray wolves from Canada into Yellowstone and central Idaho in January 1995. Now, just three years later, the wolves have multiplied to about 165 (75 live in Idaho). "The program is working better than any of us had ever hoped," says Ed Bangs, the wolf recovery coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in Montana. At this rate, gray wolves may be taken off the U.S. endangered species list by the year 2002.

Arabian Environment Browse related articles Endangered wolves Mammals of the Arabian desert, especially predators, have suffered dramatic declines over the last few decades. They have been gunned down, trapped, poisoned and obliterated in other ways. Saturday, December 06 - 2003 at 18:20 GMT+4 Today hunting may have been banned, but human activities have so severely damaged natural habitats that chances of recovery seem remote. The UAE desert itself has experienced local extinctions of species that once roamed wild and free across its arid wilderness. Among these is the Arabian wolf, which hasn't been seen in the wild in this country since the 1980's. At one time, this smallest and, possibly, the least known of wolf subspecies, had a range throughout the Arabian peninsula. Now it can only be found in selected pockets of Oman, Yemen, Jordan and Saudi Arabia. To see one in the UAE, one has to visit Sharjah's Wildlife Centre. Farmers and shepherds have always resented the presence of wolves. The reason: they attack livestock such as goats. Revenge killings by farmers are practiced even today and farmers shoot, poison, trap and kill wolves whenever possible. Desert conditions force wild and domestic animals to live near limited water resources (wadis, gravel plains and mountain regions), which provide the wolves equal opportunities to feed on livestock as well as wild hares, rodents and ungulates.

Reversal of fortune: Winning wolves may lose precious protection POSTED 14 JULY 2000 On July 11, federal regulators proposed a lower level of protection for the gray wolf in much of the country. Courtesy Yellowstone National Park. Eventually, the carnivore could lose all protection under the Endangered Species Act. The change is the cost of success. By 1973, extermination campaigns had practically eliminated wolves from the lower 48 states. Today, wolves are back. Roughly 3,500 members of Canis lupus now reside in the lower 48 states, primarily in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, with smaller numbers in the Southwest and Rocky Mountains. The rebound reflects natural increase among Midwestern wolves, and the success of a controversial program that started reintroducing the gray wolf to the Rocky Mountains. The 31 gray wolves trapped in Canada and loosed in Yellowstone National Park in 1995 and 1996 have increased to about 120 adults today. Breeding season The wolf's comeback is good news to wolf lovers and anyone who favors returning endangered species to their home ranges. Ironically, wolves are doing so well that they could soon lose some or all protection of the Endangered Species Act, which helped ensure their survival.

Archives Headlines Printer Friendly Version E-Mail This Article Published on Wednesday, February 2, 2005 by the Associated Press Judge: Bush Administration Violated Endangered Species Act by Jeff Barnard GRANTS PASS, Ore. - The Bush administration violated the Endangered Species Act when it relaxed protections on many of the nation's gray wolves, a federal judge has ruled. U.S. District Judge Robert E. Jones in Portland handed down a decision Tuesday rescinding a rule change that allowed ranchers to shoot wolves on sight if they were attacking livestock, said Michael Robinson of the Center for Biological Diversity, an environmental group. In April 2003, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service divided the wolves' range into three areas and reclassified the Eastern and Western populations as threatened instead of endangered. The Eastern segment covers the area from the Dakotas east to Maine, while the Western segment extends west from the Dakotas. The agency left wolves in the Southwest classified as endangered. But the judge ruled that the government acted improperly by combining areas where wolves were doing well, such as Montana, with places where their numbers had not recovered.

Adoption Form and Donation Form Proud Member of: Grants Pass Chamber of Commerce Grants Pass Visitors Bureau The sad state of wolf extinction demands organizations like Howling Acres. Once a Dominant Mammal. Now on the Verge of Extinction Wolves were once the most widely distributed mammal in the world, occupying almost every habitat except tropical jungles. In North America, the wolf has been exterminated from about 95 percent of its historic range in the United States, about 15 percent of its range in Canada, and all of its range in Mexico. Today the wolf has gone from about 25 percent of its original habitat in Europe and Asia. Human persecution and loss of habitat have restricted wolf populations to the more remote and wild lands of the Earth. From Persecution to Conservation Wolf conservation began in the 1960s with the global environmental movement, and today there is a growing atmosphere of acceptance as never before. Fortunately we know from successes in the western United States that wolves can be re-established and conflicts with humans can be minimized. We also know that where wolves have adequate prey and are protected from persecution, populations can quickly rebound. Increasingly we are faced with a new challenge in wolf conservation: How do we strike a balance between the desire to have wolves with the needs of a diverse and expanding human population?

The largest and most common species of wolf is the Gray wolf canis lupus ), which can grow to 4.5 to 6.5 feet in length. Other wolf species include the Red wolf canis rufus ), whose range is limited to the southeastern United States, and the less common Ethiopian Wolf canis simensis ), that is only found in some Ethiopian mountain ranges. Gray wolves once populated areas all over the northern hemisphere, aided by their ability to adapt to a wide variety of climates. However, wolf populations have dwindled drastically over the last several hundred years as a result of habitat destruction and hunting. Popularly held misperceptions about wolves made them a favorite target of hunters for centuries. Many people believed that wolves were so aggressive in their behavior that they posed a risk to both humans and livestock. In fact, most wolves are wary of humans and are more likely to hunt wild prey than livestock. Wolves are carnivores, and hunt in packs for large animals like moose, bison, elk, and reindeer, although this diet can differ depending on availability of prey and geographic location. A wolf hunting alone will eat rabbits, beavers, and other small mammals. Wolves had all but disappeared from the Western United States by the early 1900s. The last gray wolf in Yellowstone National Park was killed by a federal agent of the U.S. Biological Survey in 1930. The gray wolf would not return to Yellowstone for 65 years. When the
