The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a 90-day decision on two petitions related to the gray wolf under the Endangered Species Act. The petitions aimed to change the status of the gray wolf by creating and delisting a distinct Western Great Lakes population and recognizing a West Coast population as threatened. However, after reviewing the petitions, the Service determined they do not provide enough scientific or commercial information to justify these actions. As a result, they will not take further action on the petitions to revise the current gray wolf listings.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service looked into requests to change some rules about gray wolves, like making a new group of them special or less protected, but decided not to do it because there wasn't enough proof to support those changes.
