"At stake is the future of a species whose recovery from near-extinction has been heralded as a historic conservation success,"The court largely sided with advocates on Thursday, finding that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service failed to prove that wolf populations in the Midwest and parts of the West would remain viable without federal protections, U.S. District Judge Jeffrey White wrote.
The service also "failed to adequately conduct a threats assessment" for wolves outside that core region, White said.Wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains and adjacent states remain under state jurisdiction due to steps taken by Congress to lift federal protections in the region.
