Wolves in the Northeast?
Judge Rules in Favor of Wolves in the Northeast
The National Wildlife Federation reports that more than 100 years after the howl of the last gray wolf echoed through our northeastern forests, efforts to return these animals to the region recently got a boost-thanks to a decision by a federal court judge in Vermont. The decision marked a major victory for the National Wildlife Federation and a coalition of environmental groups, which had challenged a 2003 U.S. Interior Department Wolf Reclassification Rule that had downgraded the status of gray wolves from endangered to threatened in the Lower 48 and had ended recovery planning for wolves in the forests of northern New England and New York.
