U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Proposes to Remove Gray Wolf from Endangered List, Maintain Protections for Mexican Wolf

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposes to remove the gray wolf from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife, while maintaining endangered status for the Mexican wolf, which is listed as a subspecies of the gray wolf. This decision is based on scientific and commercial information indicating that the gray wolf is not a valid species and that the Mexican wolf is an endangered subspecies.
