A broad coalition of conservation organizations challenged the Service\u2019s refusal to protect imperiled wolverines by listing them under the ESA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cToday\u2019s win is a victory not just for wolverine but for all species whose fate relies on the scientific integrity of the Fish and Wildlife Service,\u201d said Bethany Cotton, wildlife program director for WildEarth Guardians. \u201cWe call on the agency to stop playing politics and start living up to its mandate to protect our country\u2019s most imperiled species.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Often called \u201csouthern polar bears,\u201d wolverines are custom built for cold, snowy climates and depend on areas with spring snow for denning and year-round habitat. Science shows climate change may eliminate nearly two-thirds of the snowy habitat needed by wolverines in the contiguous U.S. within 75 years. This means significantly less habitat and\/or worsened habitat fragmentation for the approximately 250-300 wolverines that remain in the lower 48 states.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Service originally identified climate change, in conjunction with small population size, as the primary threat to wolverine existence in the contiguous U.S. Published, peer-reviewed research, the larger scientific community \u2013 including the Society for Conservation Biology \u2013 an independent scientific panel, the majority of experts who reviewed the decision, and the Service\u2019s own biologists all verified this finding. The Service proposed listing the wolverine as a \u201cthreatened\u201d species under the ESA in 2013. At the eleventh hour, however, the Service reversed course and chose not to protect wolverine, citing too many \u201cuncertainties\u201d in the scientific literature.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Today, the court rejected this excuse, holding the agency accountable for its decision to discount the best available science about climate impacts on wolverine. \u201c[T]he Service\u2019s decision against listing the wolverine as threatened under the ESA is arbitrary and capricious. No greater level of certainty is needed to see the writing on the wall for this snow-dependent species standing squarely in the path of global climate change. It has taken us twenty years to get to this point. It is the [Court\u2019s] view that if there is one thing required of the Service under the ESA, it is to take action at the earliest possible, defensible point in time to protect against the loss of biodiversity within our reach as a nation. For the wolverine. That time is now.&#8221; Opinion at page 83.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The court correctly noted that the ESA directs the Service to make listing decisions based on the best<em> available<\/em> science, not the best possible science. This means the agency cannot make the perfect the enemy of the good. Instead, it must use and rely on the best science available when making listing decisions, which it failed to do in this case.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">\u201cThe court sent a clear message to the Service: don&#8217;t let politics trump science,\u201d said Matthew Bishop, a Western Environmental Law Center attorney who represented the conservation groups. \u201cThe Service cannot ignore the published literature and advice of its own biologists when making important listing decisions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Today\u2019s ruling requires the agency to make a new final listing determination for wolverines. The ruling also restores the Service\u2019s proposed rule to list wolverine and the wolverine\u2019s status as a candidate species under the ESA.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cCascadia Wildlands is very encouraged by the court&#8217;s rejection of political game playing by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,\u201d said Nick Cady with Cascadia Wildlands. &#8220;As with all species, wolverines deserve conservation and protections based upon sound science.&nbsp;This legal victory sets the stage for further reform of a deteriorating U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the installment of protections for this struggling species across the West.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe hope the Fish and Wildlife Service wastes no more time in granting wolverines Endangered Species Act protection,\u201d said Keith Hammer, chair of Swan View Coalition. \u201cThis rare species deserves all the help it can get as we hit record-setting temperatures here in Montana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe need to do everything we can to protect wolverines and wolverine habitat in the face of climate change and a snowballing extinction crisis,&#8221; said Greg Costello, executive director of Wildlands Network. \u201cOur actions should be rooted in precaution and the best available science\u2014not political nitpicking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWith only 300 wolverine spread across the Western U.S., it is refreshing to see the court appreciates the precarious state of wolverine populations and confirm the findings of the Fish and Wildlife Service&#8217;s own biologists that the species merits ESA protection,\u201d said ecologist George Wuerthner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWolverines deserve protection, not political shenanigans,\u201d said Arlene Montgomery of Friends of the Wild Swan. \u201cThe Fish and Wildlife Service must now do its job to protect and recover this imperiled animal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt is reassuring to know that our court system is doing its job, even while other branches of government flounder,\u201d said Larry Campbell of Friends of the Bitterroot. \u201cThe U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is apparently willing to illegally sacrifice an awesome species and good science while ineptly playing politics.

Imperiled by climate change, habitat loss and trapping, wolverine were first petitioned for ESA protections in 2000. The Service found the petition did not contain adequate information to justify a listing. A federal court overturned that decision in 2006. The Service then issued a negative 12-month finding in 2008, which was challenged in court resulting in a settlement that led to a new finding that wolverine should be protected under the ESA, but that other priorities precluded the listing at that time. A landmark settlement with WildEarth Guardians, which resolves the backlog of imperiled species awaiting protections, then guaranteed a new finding for wolverine. In February 2013, the Service proposed listing the wolverine as \u201cthreatened\u201d under the ESA. In August 2014, however, the Service reversed course and issued a decision not to list the species, contradicting its own expert scientists\u2019 recommendations. Today\u2019s ruling is in response to the organizations\u2019 legal challenge to that decision.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><strong>Contacts:<span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Matthew Bishop, Western Environmental Law Center, 406-422-9866,&nbsp;<a href=\"&#x6d;&#97;&#x69;&#x6c;&#116;&#x6f;&#58;b&#x69;&#115;h&#x6f;&#112;&#64;&#x77;&#101;s&#x74;&#101;&#x72;&#x6e;&#108;&#x61;&#x77;&#46;&#x6f;&#114;g\"><span class=\"s1\">&#98;&#x69;&#x73;h&#111;&#x70;&#x40;w&#101;&#x73;t&#101;&#x72;&#x6e;l&#97;&#x77;&#46;&#111;&#x72;&#x67;<\/span><\/a>&nbsp; <br \/>Bethany Cotton, WildEarth Guardians, 406-414-7227,&nbsp;<a href=\"&#x6d;&#x61;&#105;&#108;t&#x6f;&#x3a;&#x62;&#99;&#111;t&#x74;&#x6f;&#x6e;&#64;&#119;i&#x6c;&#x64;&#x65;&#97;&#114;t&#x68;&#x67;&#x75;&#97;rd&#x69;&#x61;&#x6e;&#115;&#46;o&#x72;&#x67;%20\"><span class=\"s1\">&#x62;c&#x6f;&#116;&#x74;&#x6f;n&#x40;&#119;&#x69;&#x6c;d&#x65;&#97;&#x72;&#x74;h&#x67;&#117;&#x61;&#x72;d&#x69;&#97;&#x6e;&#x73;&#46;&#x6f;&#114;&#x67;&nbsp;<\/span><\/a>&nbsp;<br \/>Nick Cady, Cascadia Wildlands, 314-482-3746,&nbsp;<a href=\"&#109;&#x61;&#x69;l&#116;&#x6f;:&#110;&#x69;&#x63;k&#64;&#x63;a&#115;&#x63;&#x77;i&#108;&#x64;&#46;&#111;&#x72;&#x67;\"><span class=\"s1\">&#110;&#x69;&#x63;k&#64;&#x63;a&#115;&#x63;w&#105;&#x6c;d&#46;&#x6f;&#x72;&#103;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Orders Reconsideration of Safeguards for Species Imperiled by Climate Change Location: Missoula Today, the federal district court for Montana rejected a decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) to deny protections for wolverines in the contiguous U.S. The court ruled the Service improperly ignored science and violated the Endangered Species Act.
