Factors for Determining Threatened or Endangered Species and the Influence of Money

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service released their status review on grey wolves on February 2nd, stating that wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountain range will not be listed under the Endangered Species Act. This comes after 2 petitions were filed asking for wolves to be re-listed in this region of the Western United States nearly 3 years ago. 

Kim Bean from Wolves of the Rockies joined us to discuss the status review, share her thoughts on the reasoning for this ruling, and what the future holds for wolves in the Northern Rocky Mountains.
