Mexican Wolf SOP 26.1: Population Monitoring and Location Information Dissemination Procedures

This SOP is intended to outline a population monitoring framework and accompanying reporting process to ensure consistency in disseminating location information for Mexican wolves. In addition, this SOP is intended to provide appropriate distinction between the more detailed information that is provided to directly affected entities and the more general information that is provided for broader (public) distribution. This SOP represents, in part, the “Service Approved Management Plan” referenced in the 2022 Revised Experimental Population Rule (2022 10(j) Rule, 50 CFR 17.84(k)).
