Description:
JOURNALING: “Few animals evoke the wild like wolves. Majestic, intelligent and highly social, they’re crucial in driving evolution and balancing ecosystems. Some two million wolves once roamed freely throughout North America. But federal extermination programs slashed their numbers to the breaking point.” Despite gains made after the gray wolf was protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1973, their future remains uncertain. On Oct. 29, 2020, the Trump administration finalized a rule removing Endangered Species Act protections for all gray wolves in the lower-48 states except for a small population of Mexican gray wolves in Arizona and New Mexico. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made its decision despite the fact that wolves are still functionally extinct in the vast majority of their former range across the continental U.S.

      Is the photo by you a wolf statue or stuffed wolf indoors ... and what are you looking through? Interesting information on the wolves. And they are beautiful creatures.
