Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Rael "Nidess, M.D."

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kari Lopez

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cynthia McLendon

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth McLean

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Scott Nunn

render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Jose Carmona

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Joel saeks

Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Fred Bichl

Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
EILEEN FONFERKO

for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The heavy reliance on predator control targeting wolves by the
Fish & Wildlife Service has suppressed the wolf population and
contributed to inbreeding. The solution must comply with the
conservation mandate of the Endangered Species Act and not allow
loss of wolves - from any and all sources, including government
take and illegal poaching - to keep the population from rapid
growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Do not include any alternative for analysis that would increase
take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers, restrict their
movements, or in any other respect infringe on the potential of
establishing additional Mexican wolf populations, one of which
is already called for in the 1982 Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and
more of which will likely be required in a future revision of
that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically
constrained by any other politically derived restrictions - just
as other endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Alfred Gramstedt

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kathy Schwager

their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Meri Chokrevski

Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the rule-change for
managing reintroduced Mexican gray wolves. Reliance on predator
control targeting the wolves by Fish and Wildlife Service
management, has suppressed the wolf population and contributed
to inbreeding. The Endangered Species Act should not allow loss
of wolves - from government take and illegal poaching.
A Conservation Alternative to be analyzed in the draft
environmental impact statement must be developed to upgrade the
legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves to a fully
protected endangered status.
I do not support any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations.
I ask that the Conservation Alternative include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove the
carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to prevent wolves from
becoming habituating to preying on stock.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Marc DePolo

Dear Dr. U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,
The opportunity to comment on the rule-change for managing
reintroduced Mexican gray wolves comes not a moment too soon.
Fish and Wildlife Service management, with its heavy reliance on
predator control targeting the wolves, has suppressed the wolf
population and contributed to inbreeding. The solution must
comply with the conservation mandate of the Endangered Species
Act and not allow loss of wolves - from any and all sources,
including government take and illegal poaching - to keep the
population from rapid growth and genetic rescue.
To this end, please develop a Conservation Alternative to be
analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement that would
upgrade the legal status of the reintroduced Mexican wolves from
their current "experimental non-essential" standing to a fully
protected endangered status.
Please do not include any alternative for analysis that would
increase take of wolves, set any limits on wolf numbers,
restrict their movements, or in any other respect infringe on
the potential of establishing additional Mexican wolf
populations, one of which is already called for in the 1982
Mexican Wolf Recovery Plan and more of which will likely be
required in a future revision of that plan.
The Conservation Alternative should include the following
provisions:
1) Allow release of wolves from the captive breeding population
directly into New Mexico. This is particularly important to
enable the Fish and Wildlife Service to release genetically
valuable animals into areas in which no wolf packs have
established territories.
2) Allow wolves to roam freely outside the boundaries of the
Blue Range
Wolf Recovery Area and not be geographically constrained by any
other politically derived restrictions - just as other
endangered species are allowed free movement.
3) Require livestock owners using public lands to remove or
render inedible the carcasses of non-wolf-killed stock so as to
prevent wolves from being attracted to areas where domestic
animals are vulnerable and habituating to preying on stock. This
could be accomplished, at least in part, by holding blameless
for subsequent depredations any wolf that has scavenged on dead
livestock - and protecting such wolves from any governmental or
private "take" or predator control.
4) Authorize release of wolves into the White Sands Wolf
Recovery Area, which is just a few dozen miles to the east of
the Blue Range Wolf Recovery Area. White Sands has already been
analyzed for its suitability for wolves and could serve as a
home for genetically valuable wolves that might not otherwise be
released. White Sands has only been found "unsuitable" if wolves
are required to stay within its boundaries, but as part of a
population that interacts with wolves in the Gila, it would
serve an important role.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
