This grant is for supporting essential monitoring of the gray wolf population in the western U.S. The gray wolf has successfully met its recovery goals, leading to its removal from the endangered species list by Congress in April 2011. This action transferred management authority, including monitoring responsibilities, back to the states of Idaho and Montana. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service maintains Memoranda of Understanding with Idaho, Montana, and the Nez Perce Tribe to facilitate wolf management, and both states have Service-accepted plans. Continuous monitoring is mandated for a five-year period following de-listing to meticulously document the wolf’s population status and ensure ongoing conservation success.
