Wolves erased from endangered species list


by Lenka Filipova

It seems that there is an end of restoration provided to help wolf population to expand in Northern Rockies, as it was announced on Thursday by federal officials. The recovery efforts were launched in 1974 in Northern Rockies as wolves were published in the endangered species list. It was assumed that more than 1,500 wolves are now wandering throughout the areas of Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. This has brought about an enormous upheaval for the species that was about the extinction in the U.S. at the beginning of the 20th century. This is a result of marvelous works provided by the Endangered Species Act. Its interior deputy secretary Lynn Scarlett expressed that "the wolf's recovery in the Northern Rocky Mountains is a conservation success story."While this is seen as an amazing success by all supporters, in fact, there are some people who do not feel popular with it. This has mainly to do with ranchers who are naturally afraid of wolves inveighing their livestock. In the case of disposal of wolves from the list, they will be killed by hundreds of hunters who wish to constrict their population as much as possible. As a matter of course, the environmental groups have already started to prepare the lawsuit over the delisting, claiming it is too early to exclude this species from the federal protection.The wolves have once been nearly undone when it was a part of government eradication programme in 1930 to wipe of wolves invading the farms. The poisoning was even used. Performing this over 50 years resulted in depopulating the species to only 200 square mile of territory on Montana near-by the Canadian border.
