Service Reopens Comment Period on Proposal to Remove the Gray Wolf from the Endangered Species List

February 2014
Following receipt of an independent scientific peer review, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reopening the comment period on its proposal to list the Mexican wolf as an endangered subspecies and remove the gray wolf from the Endangered Species List. The Service is making that report available for public review, and, beginning Monday February 10, stakeholders will have an additional 45 days to provide information that may be helpful in making a final determination on the proposal. (This is for the listing/delisting proposal only – not the proposed revision of the Mexican wolf experimental population rule.)
