.S. Fish And Wildlife Service Again Sued Over Mexican Wolf Management Planbit.ly/3CvQi1RAnother lawsuit has been filed against the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service with claims that the agency has failed to develop a sound management plan for recovering Mexican gray wolves, an endangered species, in the Southwest.The filing cites many of the same complaints that EarthJustice raised back in July when it sued the agency, saying the current plan fails to ensure genetic diversity of the species and leaves the wolves "vulnerable to human-caused mortality and removal from the wild, and by preventing wolves from occupying suitable habitat north of Interstate 40."The Service is once again ignoring the science and its clear legal mandate to manage Mexican wolves in a manner that allows for the true recovery of this critically imperiled species,” said Kelly Nokes, Shared Earth wildlife attorney for the Western Environmental Law Center. “We stand ready to once again hold the agency accountable for failing to comply with the Endangered Species Act’s strict conservation commands.”Greta Anderson, deputy director of Western Watersheds Project, added that, “Mexican wolves won’t be on a path to real recovery until the scientific recommendations are no longer being watered down by policies that appease the states and special interests.”While Western Watersheds Project said the best available science recommends a population of at least 750 animals in the wilds of the Southwest, including subpopulations in the Southern Rockies and in the Grand Canyon Ecoregion, Fish and Wildlife has set a target of at least 320 wolves in a single area of eastern Arizona and western New Mexico and prohibits wolf access to promising but unoccupied recovery habitat in the Grand Canyon and southern Rockies region, according to EarthJustice.Sadly, the cycle of bad faith government efforts necessitating litigation continues,” said Chris Smith, Southwest wildlife advocate for WildEarth Guardians. “The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service knows exactly what it needs to do in order to further lobo recovery - a federal court told the agency - but unfortunately they won’t do it without being sued over and over again.”Allowing wolves to roam north of I-40 and seek out new habitat is essential to their long-term survival,” said Michael Dax, western program director for Wildlands Network. “Across the west, wildlife managers are promoting connectivity and protecting corridors with the Mexican gray wolf seemingly the only exception.”Photo: Chicago Zoo ...

Thus Wolfwatcher is involved with Mexican wolves. I found this article from Texas and read history I was not aware of until now Mexican wolves Canis lupus Bailey IRead abd learn history. Thanks for taking the time 🐺Some species of animals or plants are named after people, and such names are called patronyms. But not all patronyms are historically pleasant. The Mexican Gray Wolf, Canis lupus baileyi, was named after Vernon Bailey, the foremost person whose job and mission it was to eradicate them from the United States. Vernon Bailey was employed by the USDA's innocent-enough sounding Bureau of Biological Survey (the predecessor of the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service), under the "Division of Economic Ornithology and Mammalogy". While Bailey was employed there from 1887 to 1933, he developed a series of circulars (pamphlets, brochures, and other printed state-funded propaganda) to teach people how to kill and exterminate wildlife and distributed these materials to farmers, ranchers, and other plainsmen and citizens of the American West. This image you see here was the first page of a pamphlet Bailey authored and distributed to Americans for 5￠in 1907.Hardly coming from an unbiased source, the patronym honoring Vernon Bailey bestowed upon the Latin name of the Mexican Wolf was put forth in a 1929 Journal of Mammalogy publication authored by E.W. Nelson and E.A. Goldman—Bailey's bosses—Nelson and Goldman were, respectively, the Chief and In Charge officers of the Bureau of Biological Survey while Bailey was an employee. The dedicatory line in Nelson's and Goldman's published description of the Mexican Wolf reads: "Named for Vernon Bailey in recognition of his extensive studies of the life habits of wolves". Yellowstone National Park started poisoning wolves and coyotes within its park in 1898, and the park invited Bailey to show their rangers and other personnel how to properly mass exterminate wolves, which they did starting in 1914. Mexican Wolves not being the only piece of Texas natural history named after him, Vernon Bailey Peak is a 6,670 foot peak in Big Bend National Park in Brewster County, West Texas. The last two Mexican Wolves in Texas were killed nearly a hundred miles apart in Big Bend south of Alpine and Sanderson in December 1970. There hasn't been a wild wolf in Texas since. Dusty R.
