Earth Watch, The Return of the Gray Wolf
For many decades the plight of the Gray Wolf was underplayed through the public's misunderstanding. The Gray Wolf brought to mind flickering movie screens in which gray wolves would howl at the moon and attack prey after dark. The image conjured up a strong and virile species that was destined to live forever in the wild for the public to fear and admire at the same time. The truth is the Gray Wolf was slowly dying off and was eventually threatened with extinction. The Gray Wolf was not a species that elicited warm fuzzy feelings nor did people think they should be cuddled in laps, but when the word began to spread that the Gray Wolf might disappear forever, grass roots organizations began to take interest. The effort to save the Gray Wolf from extinction has been successful and today the species is growing stronger than ever before.

The species has moved from the endangered list to the threatened list in what many refer to as a record time frame. This applies to all Gray Wolves with the exception of the Mexican Gray Wolf (Hebert, 2000). The Mexican Gray Wolf save effort is only two years old and will take time for them to catch up to their peers in the species before they can be moved to the threatened list. The Gray Wolf used to be endangered and the entire species was in serious threat of becoming extinct only a few years ago. "The gray wolf, whose population once was close to extinct in the lower 48 states, are currently classified as endangered throughout the country except in Alaska and in Minnesota where they considered "threatened" -- a lower classification of protection under the federal law (Hebert, 2000)."
The Gray Wolf became virtually extinct in the 1950's throughout the lower 48 states according to statistics. Today with the efforts of ecological groups there are over 2,400 wolves living in Minnesota, as well as 500 in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan. In 1995 the Gray Wolf was re-introduced in Yellowstone Park and today there are more than 300 of them living in Montana, Wyoming…
