U.S. Congressman Tom Tiffany provides update on wolf delisting bill

U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who represents citizens in an area of ​​northern Wisconsin that has the largest wolf population in the state, briefly attended a Conservation Congress wolf committee meeting Sept. 23 where he provided an update on legislation that would remove wolves from federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.
The Trust the Science Act, HR-764, reintroduced by Tiffany and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colorado), passed the House Natural Resources Committee 21-16 and is supported by the rest of the Wisconsin House Republican delegation. Tiffany said the bill builds on a 2020 decision by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) that wolves in the Upper Great Lakes should be delisted after extensive research.
