Finally some good news!
A federal judge ruled, yesterday, that wolves in the Northern Rockies were illegally stripped of their protections under the Endangered Species Act. Thanks to Defenders of Wildlife and Earthjustice, working for and with other conservation groups, wolf hunting in Idaho and Montana is now illegal again.

Sadly, this is not the end of the battle. Anti-wolf sentiment is high in the area, due to conflicts between ranchers and wolves. Media misinformation feeds the problem.
Defenders and Earthjustice continue their battles to ensure the safety of the grey wolves until their recovery is complete and they can be delisted for the right reasons. But, for now, we can enjoy the victory.
