Mexican wolf; delist; urging support
This Arizona state memorial (HCM 2011) urges Congress to delist the Mexican wolf from the federal endangered species list. It claims the wolf population has exceeded recovery goals since 2014 (286 wild wolves in 2024) and no longer requires ESA protections. The memorial specifically requests Congress pass H.R. 4255 to remove the wolf from the list, defund the federal reintroduction project, transfer management to states, and ensure full compensation for ranchers' livestock losses. It does not create new law but advocates for policy changes to end federal management of the species.
