The Center for Biological Diversity today filed a formal notice of intent to sue the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service over the agency’s decision to grant itself a “recovery permit”
to live-capture endangered wolves that may enter New Mexico and Arizona from
Mexico or the Rocky Mountains.
Mexico recently released nine Mexican gray wolves near the U.S. border in the Sierra
Madre, and wolves from the northern Rocky Mountains could make their way south
at any time.
Captured wolves will be placed into the
captive-breeding program, returned to where they came from, or relocated into
the Mexican wolf recovery area.
Right now the only Mexican wolves in the two
states are in the “Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area,” an area between Interstate
40 and Interstate 10 where wolves are considered an experimental, non-essential
population and therefore enjoy fewer safeguards.
