Range of the wolf	15.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Jun 15, 2013 01:01AM MDT Re “Value of wolves: Feds must maintain some oversight” (Our View, June 11): Although U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Daniel Ashe declared victory by stating “Wolves are recovered and they are now in good hands,” I share serious concerns with the 16 scientists with expertise in carnivore taxonomy and conservation biology who believe delisting is terribly premature. The feds are gauging gray wolf recovery solely on the Northern Rockies and Great Lakes wolf populations. Under the Endang... ...

Science of wolves	15.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Jun 15, 2013 01:01AM MDT I admire The Tribune for boldly standing up for wolves only months after Utah’s Legislature voted to give money to Don Peay to lobby against wolves (“Value of wolves: Feds must maintain some oversight,” Our View, June 11). If wolves are removed from the list of endangered species nationwide, this would mean no protection for wolves entering Utah or any other state. Take a look at Yellowstone National Park since wolves were reintroduced. Many plant and animal species, absent for decades, have re... ...

Value of wolves	11.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published Jun 10, 2013 04:31PM MDT The image of the government declaring “Mission Accomplished” is etched in Americans’ minds, and not in a good way. Just as former President George W. Bush was wrong when he made that announcement about the Iraq war, the feds might well be wrong in declaring the gray wolf no longer in need of protection in the West. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service says the mission of recovering populations of the gray wolf, which once roamed throughout the United States, has been successful, and the top preda... ...

Federal authorities move to delist gray wolves	8.6.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Brian Maffly The Salt Lake Tribune Published Jun 7, 2013 12:36PM MDT In a decision hoped to close one of the West’s most contentious debates, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has declared mission accomplished for recovering the gray wolf, the predator government officials had exterminated from the West nearly a century ago. The agency has concluded wolves no longer warrant protection under the Endangered Species Act. On Friday, federal authorities proposed delisting the wolf, but insisted the Mexican gray wolf remain listed as an endangered subspecies. While sp... ...
