Congressman Tom Tiffany (D-WI) and Congresswoman Lauren Boebert’s bill to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act passed the House by a vote of 209-205.
The “Trust the Science Act” would remove the gray wolf from the list of federal endangered species, ensure that action is not subject to judicial review, and restore authority back to state lawmakers and wildlife officials to control the gray wolf population. “The science is clear that the gray wolf has met and exceeded recovery goals,” says Tiffany. “Passing the House is an important first step towards restoring local control over the skyrocketing gray wolf population in Wisconsin.”
The Act requires the Interior Secretary to reissue the 2020 Department of the Interior final rule that delisted the gray wolf in the lower 48 United States and ensures the reissuance of the final rule will not be subject to judicial review by activist judges.
