WASHINGTON STATE–The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife public comment period for gray wolf rule making is open now. Based on a population projection model developed at the University of Washington (UW) and other available information on gray wolves in Washington, WDFW staff recommends reclassifying wolves from state endangered (defined as seriously threatened with extinction throughout all or a significant portion of its range within the state) to Sensitive status; described as "vulnerable or declining and is likely to become endangered or threatened in a significant portion of its range within the state without cooperative management or removal of threats".. The Department is seeking public input on the proposal. More information on it, how to provide input, the deadline to comment, and more can be found at https://publicinput.com/sepa_graywolf.
