The Center for Biological Diversity sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service today for failing to designate critical habitat for wolverines in a timely manner. Wolverines were protected as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2023, but still haven’t received protections for the places they live. “The Fish and Wildlife Service’s delay in protecting the wild places that wolverines call home threatens to push them closer to extinction,” said Andrea Zaccardi, carnivore conservation legal director at the Center. “In the face of climate change, it’s crucial to protect the rugged, snowy areas that the wolverine needs to survive.”
