The result of these two recent court decisions is that wolves in Wyoming, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin are back on the federal Endangered Species Act list.
A new threat to wolves in the form of a house appropriations bill with a rider attached
Section 121 of the FY 2016 House Interior/EPA bill nullifies both of these recent federal court decisions, directing the Secretary of the Interior to reissue the two wolf delisting rules that federal courts found illegal under the ESA. This rider would hand wolf management authority back over to the very states whose management plans were found to be deficient.
With no judicial review
And, Section 121 includes “no judicial review” clauses covering both court decision overrides (this strips the ability of citizens to further challenge these wolf delistings).
Section 121 would not only jeopardize wolf recovery, but would also undermine the Endangered Species Act (ESA) itself.
Further, U.S. Rep. Betty McCollum, D-Minn., said the provision amounts to “tremendous overreach” because the appropriations bill is meant to fund the Interior Department’s activities, not direct policy decisions.
“The judicial branch exists to provide oversight and review of our nation’s laws, and the idea that this Republican appropriations bill would try to circumvent that constitutionally critical process is wrong,” McCollum said.
