Now is the time to speak out on behalf of the Mexican gray wolf during the upcoming public comment period for the draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement and proposed 10(j) Management Rule!
Background:
At the end of 2020, only 186 Mexican gray wolves roamed in Arizona and New Mexico, and only about 35-40 could be found in Mexico, making these wolves among the rarest native species found in the Southwest.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) is revising its 2015 Mexican gray wolf 10(j) Management Rule, which a Federal court found does not rely on the best available science and violates the Endangered Species Act by failing to conserve the endangered Mexican gray wolf.
October 29, 2021 to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time January 27, 2022 marks a 90-day public comment period, which is your opportunity to demand that the agency follow the court order and base the revised management rule on independent academic science rather than political pressure.
