How many wolves are needed for recovery in the northern Rocky Mountains?
A-The minimum recovery goal for wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains is 30 breeding pairs and at least 300 wolves for three consecutive years. This goal was first attained in 2002. Q-What happens now? A- The Service will continue to work with Wyoming to resolve the State?s concerns about wolf management in a way that will allow the Service to propose that the northern Rocky Mountain wolf population be delisted. The Service strongly believes that a recovered wolf population is best managed by professional state fish and wildlife agencies within approved management guidelines.
