Trump Admin Targets Wolf Protections | Nigeria News

The Trump administration is moving to strip federal protections from gray and Mexican wolves, triggering a fierce backlash from conservationists who warn it could derail decades of recovery. With just 90 days for the Interior Secretary to decide if wolves meet delisting criteria, the move signals a rollback of Endangered Species Act safeguards — including relaxing rules on wolf killing — amid accusations it’s politically motivated to appease ranchers, despite existing federal compensation programs. This follows a pattern of weakening environmental regulations, including redefining “harm” and removing automatic protections for threatened species. With only around 7,600 gray wolves and 317 Mexican wolves left in the U.S., critics say this is a dangerous step backward for wildlife conservation.
