The 2011 rider restored a 2009 rule by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that considered the northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf as a “Distinct Population Segment” encompassing Montana, Idaho and parts of Washington, Oregon and Utah.
The rule was overturned in 2010, but the action by Congress in 2011 restored it. The rider also included a provision that the rule “shall not be subject to judicial review.”[1]
Wyoming’s wolves are considered to be part of the northern Rocky Mountain gray wolf Distinct Population Segment, but the 2009 rule did not include the state because Wyoming had not set up “adequate regulatory mechanisms” to preserve the population. In 2012 FWS issued a rule delisting wolves in Wyoming.
After the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately upheld that rule, in May 2017, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a final rule implementing the court’s judgment that removed federal protections for gray wolves in Wyoming and thus formally included them in the Distinct Population Segment. That action then covered them by the 2011 rider.[2]
The ruling applies in 44 of the lower 48 states. Wolves in Montana and Idaho will remain unprotected because they were delisted by Congress in 2011. Wolves in Wyoming were delisted by the Fish and Wildlife Service in 2017. Wolves in New Mexico, which are considered a separate population, never lost protectionEinhorn, Catrin (2022-02-10).
