Today, after more than 20 years of advocacy by wildlife conservation groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (the Service) found<\/a> that wolverines warrant federal protections as a threatened species. Numbering only about 300 in the contiguous U.S., snow-dependent wolverine populations have suffered from climate change, habitat loss, trapping, and other anthropogenic pressures.<\/p>\n

The Service prepared a mostly strong, interim Endangered Species Act 4(d)<\/a> rule, which serves as a road map for the agency to aid in wolverine recovery and grants specific protections and exceptions for the species. The agency will also prepare a wolverine recovery plan and identify protected critical habitat in the future, and may prepare a plan for reintroduction into Colorado as well. Wildlife groups do have concerns about language in that rule allowing incidental wolverine \u201ctake\u201d from trapping \u201cconducted in a manner that uses best practices to minimize the potential for capture and mortality of wolverines.\u201d This coalition isn\u2019t sure this is possible for wolverines because they are scavengers and known as \u201ctrap junkies.\u201d This coalition of groups will\u00a0 thus provide feedback on this and other provisions in the interim 4(d) rule during the comment period.<\/p>\n

Wildlife conservation groups have twice successfully<\/a> challenged<\/a> the Service in federal court for relying on flawed science to deny wolverines Endangered Species Act protections. The court most recently ordered the Service to make a new decision by Nov. 30, 2023, resulting in today\u2019s threatened listing determination.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m glad the Fish and Wildlife Service finally ignored the misplaced policy concerns raised by states like Idaho, Wyoming, and even Montana over the last decade, and made a listing decision based solely on the best available science,\u201d said Matthew Bishop, attorney with the Western Environmental Law Center<\/b>. \u201cWolverines can\u2019t wait another year or two for the long-overdue protections they deserve. That said, we are concerned about\u00a0 the allowances for trapping in wolverine habitat, and we will be taking a closer look at that. We doubt it\u2019s possible to trap without the risk of take. Wolverines\u2014a crucial species for many ecosystems throughout the western U.S.\u2014deserve the fullest protections possible. Given the small population and climate change quickly shrinking the snowy habitat wolverines rely on to survive, time is of the essence.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe science and the law could not be more clear: Wolverines deserve Endangered Species Act protections,\u201d said Bethany Cotton, conservation director with Cascadia Wildlands<\/b>. \u201cWe are gratified that at long last, the Fish and Wildlife Service did its job by following the science and affording this iconic climate-impacted species essential safeguards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Attorneys from the Western Environmental Law Center represented WildEarth Guardians, Cascadia Wildlands, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Cottonwood Environmental Law Center, Footloose Montana, Friends of the Bitterroot, Friends of the Wild Swan, George Wuerthner, Helena Hunters and Anglers Association, Native Ecosystems Council, Oregon Wild, Wildlands Network, and the Swan View Coalition on previous litigation.<\/p>\n

The groups involved in the court victories leading to this decision will engage in the Service\u2019s process to ensure wolverines benefit from the full protections under the law and make a strong recovery.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wolverine has been clawing for survival for far too long,\u201d said Lindsay Larris, wildlife program director with WildEarth Guardians. <\/b>\u201cThis decision is the first step towards the path for the wolverine to recover and reclaim their status as an icon of the Rocky Mountain West.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWolverine are finally getting the protection they deserve after waiting for many years,\u201d said Arlene Montgomery, program director for Friends of the Wild Swan<\/strong>. \u201cThe agency shouldn\u2019t undo the good that will come from this by allowing an exemption for trapping. The only way they can recover is to limit mortality.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
“We appreciate that the Fish and Wildlife Service finally listed wolverines as threatened but their 4d rule, which allows trapping in wolverine habitat, is a road map for extinction, not recovery,” said Mike Garrity, executive director of the Alliance for the Wild Rockies<\/b>. \u201cWolverines are scavengers and will continue to be taken if trapping is allowed to continue. The Fish and Wildlife Service needs to follow the law like all Americans are required to do and come up with a plan to recover wolverines.”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIn the face of climate change, along with greater recreational use of wolverine high-elevation winter habitat, the wolverine deserves immediate listing under the Endangered Species Act,\u201d said ecologist George Wuerthner.<\/b><\/div>\n

\u201cThis decision is huge for Helena Hunters and Anglers Association,\u201d said board member Gary Ingman<\/b>. \u201cWolverine are an icon of wilderness and an indicator species of secure wildlife habitat, with benefits to many other species. We have supported this effort from the beginning, recognizing the declining status of wolverine in Montana and the west, starting with our group\u2019s petition to halt wolverine trapping in Montana in 2012. We\u2019ve spent countless hours as volunteers conducting winter surveys of tracks, collecting hair and scat samples for DNA analysis, and coordinating with other researchers to document wolverine status. We\u2019ve worked hard lobbying for protection of wolverine habitat in forest plans and through travel management on public lands. It\u2019s gratifying to see the Fish and Wildlife Service acknowledge the need for additional protection for wolverine in this uncertain and rapidly changing time.\u201d<\/p>\n

“After two decades of politicizing the decision of whether to list the wolverine as threatened under the Endangered Species Act, science has finally prevailed with today’s decision,” said Greg Costello, senior advisor for Wildlands Network.<\/b>\u00a0 “The wolverine, as Wildlands Network’s logo suggests, is emblematic of wild, free-willed animals on the move in a changing world, dependent on our resolve, as demonstrated to protect, reconnect and rewild nature across the North American landscape.”<\/p>\n

\u201cListing wolverine has been as elusive as the animal,\u201d said Larry Campbell of Friends of the Bitterroot<\/b>. \u201cThanks to the stamina and focus of citizen conservationists over many years it appears to be finally materializing before it\u2019s too late.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA wolverine was recently found dead and skinned on a closed Forest Service road on the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest and I found a dead wolverine on a closed Forest Service road on the Flathead National Forest in 2021,\u201d said Keith Hammer, Chair of the Swan View Coalition<\/b>. \u201cWolverine need these Endangered Species Act protections to get more effective road closures and habitat security from the Forest Service and other land management agencies.\u201d<\/p>\n

“This is a step closer to protections for wolverines, but listing wolverines as threatened under the Endangered Species Act is a Pyrrhic victory as long as trapping is allowed to continue in wolverine habitat. With only 300 wolverines left in the lower 48, and most of them in Montana\u2019s high country, and given that wolverines are scavengers, any traps\u2014particularly baited traps\u2014will further risk extinction,” said Connie Poten, board chair of Footloose Montana<\/strong>. “Just a week ago, Montana\u2019s elected officials, Sen. Daines and Reps. Zinke and Rosendale tried to delay<\/a> the wolverine listing but it was too late. However, this compromising of the endangered species law by allowing scientific research, forest management activities and incidental trapping undercuts protection of the wolverine and instead protects trapping.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe listing decision is a good step in the right direction,\u201d said John Meyer with Cottonwood Environmental Law Center<\/b>. \u201cNow it\u2019s time for us to meaningfully address climate change\u2014the reason why wolverines need protection.\u201d<\/p>\n

“While we applaud the decision to list wolverines, allowing trapping to continue shows the agency still does not put wildlife first,” said Stephen Capra<\/strong> with Bold Visions Conservation. “It is time to ban trapping on our public lands! Only then are we truly protecting wildlife.”<\/p>\n

Quote from judge\u2019s order in <\/b>2016 decision<\/b><\/a>:
\n\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.” Opinion at page 83.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/b>
\n<\/b>Wolverines number only about 300 individuals in the contiguous U.S. and are dependent on areas that retain persistent snow into the spring months. Every wolverine den ever detected in the lower 48 States was in snow. Wolverines are built for cold, snowy environments. They wear a double-fur coat and have large snowshoe-like paws with the crampon claws that allow them to travel easily over snow and mountainous terrain. One study found 98% of all wolverine den sites in places with persistent late spring snowpack.<\/p>\n

Imperiled by climate change, habitat loss, small population size and trapping, wolverines were first petitioned for Endangered Species Act 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 many of the groups on this statement challenged in court, resulting in a settlement that led to a new finding that wolverines should be protected under the Endangered Species Act, but that other priorities precluded the listing at that time. A landmark settlement which resolved the backlog of imperiled species awaiting protections then guaranteed a new finding for wolverines. In February 2013, the Service proposed listing the wolverine as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. In August 2014, however, the Service reversed course and issued a decision not to list the species, contradicting its own expert scientists\u2019 recommendations. In April, 2016 the court overturned<\/a> the Service\u2019s decision not to list, reinstating wolverines\u2019 status as a candidate species and requiring a new final rule. That court correctly noted that the Endangered Species Act directs the Service to make listing decisions based on the best available<\/i> science, not the best possible science. In October 2020, the Service again decided not to list. A federal court rejected<\/a> that decision in 2022, requiring the service to make a new determination by Nov. 30, 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
