Bill introduced to delist gray wolves.

MICH. / WISC. – Wisconsin Senator Tammy Baldwin has introduced a new bill to delist the gray wolf population in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.  The Northern Great Lakes Wolf Recovery Act would create an advisory committee comprised of agriculture representatives, Native and Tribal communities, heads of impacted state agencies, and wolf management experts and scientists to create the final delisting rule for the region.  The advisory committee would also be involved in the five-year post-delisting monitoring period, which ensures that the status of the wolves does not decline. If there is an increase in threats or a decline in population, there would be plans and measures in place to halt the decline so that relisting is not necessary.
