View Rule

This final rule would make a determination on proposed revisions to the existing experimental population designation of the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) in the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area (MWEPA) in Arizona and New Mexico under section 10(j) of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended. To ensure the long-term conservation and recovery of the Mexican wolf, the proposed rule would modify the population objective, establish a genetic objective, and temporarily restrict three of the forms of take of Mexican wolves in the MWEPA, while maintaining the nonessential designation for the experimental population.
