July 21, 2004 - Proposal to Delist the Gray Wolf Eastern Distinct Population Segment

This "Proposal to Delist" was never finalized

 

In 2004, the Service proposed to remove ESA protections ("delist") for all gray wolves in the 2003 Eastern Distinct Population Segment. Because the Oregon court ruling and Vermont court ruling vacated the three DPS designations and the Department of Justice declined to appeal, the Service will not finalize that delisting proposal.
