A federal judge on Thursday restored endangered species protections for the gray wolf in some U.S. states, reversing a Trump administration decision that allowed the animals to be hunted.
The decision affects wolf populations in the upper Midwest, Colorado and the Pacific Northwest. States there had been given the authority to manage their local wolf populations, including allowing trapping and hunting, when Endangered Species Act protections were lifted in 2020.
The conservation groups that sued the federal government had argued that the species had yet to recover in much of its former range. In its decision in 2020, the Trump administration said the species had been brought back successfully from the brink of extinction. There are about 6,000 gray wolves in the lower 48 United States, up from about 1,000 when they were added to the endangered species list in the 1970s.
