Today six environmental groups filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration’s removal of Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves across most of the lower 48 states.

With wolf management in the hands of individual states, places in the Midwest could see renewed wolf hunting and trapping seasons.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service made its decision against the advice of scientists who say wolves are still functionally extinct in the vast majority of the places they once inhabited and need continued federal protections in order to survive and recover.
