ON THEIR WAY BACK?
If left protected, wolves could find way into Adirondacks

 Environmental organizations are fighting efforts to take the gray wolf off the federal endangered species list, thinking it could some day return to the Adirondacks.

 Though perhaps it already has.

 In December 2001, a hunter in the northern Saratoga County town of Day killed what he thought was a coyote but was later determined to be a wolf — the first confirmed wolf killing in the Adirondacks in more than 100 years.

 A decade later, a New York State Museum study proved through bone analysis of its diet that the wolf was wild, not a former pet or captive turned loose or escaped. Most likely, the young male had crossed the St. Lawrence River from Ontario.

 Regardless of where that one came from, the Adirondack Park’s rural communities are full of folks who believe wolves live out in the deep woods.

 “There’s certainly anecdotal evidence of wolves being seen in the Adirondacks,” said Dan Plumley of Adirondack Wild, who has photographed possible wolf tracks on his property in Keene.

 A matter of time?
The state Department of Environmental Conservation, however, says neither wolves nor cougars — another species people claim to see — currently live in the mountains.

 But with wolf populations recovering in the western United States and Canada, the chances that intrepid individuals will strike out for new territory and end up in Adirondack forests are increasing, advocates say.

 That’s why regional environmental groups are lobbying against a current U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to take the gray wolf off the endangered species list.

 “The proposed delisting would virtually prevent gray wolves from naturally finding their way back to the Adirondack Park, a place they once roamed,” said William C. Janeway, executive director of The Adirondack Council.

 The Fish and Wildlife Service in June proposed lifting the canine predator’s endangered status nationally, based on species recoveries in the Northern Rockies and western Great Lakes states. The move would shift responsibility for managing local populations to the states.

 “From the moment a species requires the protection of the Endangered Species Act, our goal is to work with our partners to address the threats it faces and ensure its recovery,” FWS Director Dan Ashe said in announcing the proposal. “An exhaustive review of the latest scientific and taxonomic information shows that we have accomplished that goal with the gray wolf.”

 Wolves were nearly extinct in the continental U.S. only 40 years ago because of hunting, loss of forest habitat and a decline in prey species such as caribou, moose and elk.

 Challenging numbers
Today, there are at least 6,100 gray wolves in the contiguous United States, with an estimate of 1,674 in the Northern Rocky Mountains and 4,432 in the Western Great Lakes, according to the FWS.

 This winter, however, a peer scientific review of the proposed delisting faulted the science used.

 “Information contrary to the proposed delisting is discounted whereas that which supports the rule . . . are accepted uncritically,” concluded the review organized by the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

 The proposed federal rule would lift federal protections across the country. That would allow “taking” of the species and drop existing requirements to protect their critical habitat.

 Among the contentions of the Fish and Wildlife Service is that the wolves that once roamed the Adirondacks were the “Eastern wolf,” an extinct species that is different from the gray wolf. The peer review panel, however, maintains there is no scientifically justified difference between the Eastern and gray wolves, and that efforts to restore gray wolves to the East should continue.

 The criticisms led to the decision in February to reopen the delisting’s public-comment period. The comment period ended Thursday.

 The Northeast Wolf Coalition, whose members include several Adirondack groups, was among those submitting comments, calling not for delisting but for expanded recovery efforts.

 “We urge FWS to develop a ‘Northeastern Wolf Recovery Plan’ that includes continued legal protection in order to enhance natural recolonization of wolves to the Northeast,” the coalition wrote on March 20.

 Some congressmen, including Rep. Paul Tonko, D-Amsterdam, have also been critical of delisting the species.

 “It would stifle gray wolf recovery at a time when conservation gains are only nascent in the Pacific Northwest and recovery has yet to begin in California, Colorado, Utah and the Northeast, where scientists have identified a significant amount of suitable habitat that would support wolf populations,” Rep. Peter DeFazio, D-Ore., said in a letter signed by Tonko and 72 other members of Congress.

 Emotional debate
The Fish and Wildlife Service said a final decision on the gray wolf’s status will be made by the end of 2014.

 The proposal is reopening an emotional debate that has occurred for decades about whether to try to restore the native wolf, the last of which was killed by a trapper in Hamilton County in 1893.

 “I’ve read where parts of the Adirondacks are among the most sparsely populated in the United States, which is ideal for wolves,” said Steve Hall, co-owner of the Adirondack Wildlife Refuse and Rehabilitation Center in Wilmington, which keeps two wolves for education purposes.

 What isn’t ideal, Hall said, is that deer density in the Adirondacks is low, making it more likely human pets would be at risk. But wolf attacks on humans, he said, are almost unheard of.

 “We live in a country where people love wolves or hate wolves, without knowing anything about them,” Hall said.

 Advocates believe wolves are needed as a top predator in a natural ecosystem that includes large prey species such as beaver, deer and now moose.

 Opponents point out that the coyote, unknown in the Adirondacks before the 1950s, performs the top predator role in today’s forests. Studies have found wolf DNA in Eastern coyotes, apparently from past interbreeding.

 Adult Eastern coyotes generally weigh only 35 to 40 pounds, half the size of a full-grown wolf. Coyotes can legally be hunted in New York.

 The conservation group Defenders of Wildlife tried to build public support for managed restoration of wolves during the 1990s, but its own study ultimately concluded that relocating wolves from elsewhere was likely to fail.

 Now the question is whether wolves might return naturally, through migrations from areas that have healthy populations.

 There’s a wolf pack in Algonquin Provincial Park in Ontario that could be a source for Adirondack wolves.

 “The pack’s growing and dispersing, and it’s only 400 miles away, well within travel range of an individual wolf,” said Adironack Wild’s Plumley.

 While the wolf shot in Day is the only confirmed instance in the Adirondacks, lone wolves have also been killed by hunters in the past decade in Vermont and Maine.

 Defenders of Wildlife, which is based in Washington, D.C., maintains that wolves could successfully return on their own to the Northeast.

 Millions of acres in northern Maine and nearly the entire 6-million-acre Adirondack Park offer suitable habitat, the organization believes. It said there are woods in between to allow “wildlife corridor” migration.

AK: FISH AND WILDLIFE 
TO REVIEW SOUTHEAST ALASKA WOLVES



Posted on March 29, 2014 by TWIN Observer By Joe Viechnicki, KFSK – Petersburg 

 The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will review whether or not Southeast Alaska wolves should be listed for protection under the Endangered Species Act. The federal agency this month announced what’s called a “positive 90-day finding” on a petition to list the Alexander Archipelago wolf. 

 Steve Brockmann is Southeast Alaska coordinator for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. “We determined that there was substantial information presented, enough to make us think we probably should do a real status review,” Brockmann said Friday. He said the status review will look at the best available information on wolf populations. 

The timing of when the review happens also depends on funding granted by Congress which limits the number of petitions the agency can review each year. “Recently that has been several years before we get that funding so we do have an opportunity here to well really take advantage of the time lag to get some conservation in place so we don’t have to list the wolf,” Brockmann said. “Honestly the Fish and Wildlife Service would prefer to leave management of the wolf with the state of Alaska where it belongs. We do have a responsibility to list it if it needs to be listed. We intend to work with our partners with the state and the Forest Service to make sure we don’t have to do that when the time comes.” 

The petition to list the wolves was submitted in August of 2011 by two groups, the Center for Biological Diversity and Greenpeace. “Well we’re thrilled to finally have the finding. It’s come over two years late but we knew there was a strong case for pursuing a listing and we’re glad to see that the agency’s decided that our petition had merit,” said Larry Edwards, a forest campaigner with Greenpeace in Sitka. The groups argue that the region’s wolf populations are declining and are vulnerable to hunting and trapping pressure along with loss of habitat from logging on the 17-million acre Tongass National Forest. In particular, they cite past and future logging on Prince of Wales Island and say wolves on POW are in danger of extinction. State and federal managers closed hunting and trapping seasons in late March on Prince of Wales Island because hunters and trappers had reached a target number of wolves on the island. 

 That’s a concern for Edwards. “We have some great concerns with how the harvest cap was set for that. We think it was set way too high and the illegal take of wolves wasn’t adequately taken into account. So there’s some significant management problems both in terms of logging and I think how Fish and Game has been managing as well.” 

 The groups also say two intensive management programs authorized by the state’s Board of Game last year for areas near Ketchikan and Petersburg will put further pressure on wolf numbers. 

Doug Vincent-Lang is director for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s Division of Wildlife Conservation. He said Fish and Game believes the department has sustainably managed wolves in the region. “We’re confident that any potential conservation concerns can be adequately addressed through existing mechanisms, including state regulatory mechanisms that are out there. Given that we don’t believe that wolves in Alaska are at risk now or threatened with the risk of extinction in the foreseeable future and as such we don’t believe that there’s a justification for a 90-day positive finding for wolves in Southeast Alaska and we’re disappointed with the service’s decision.” 

 The intensive management programs could mean state sponsored trapping of wolves in the two areas of Southeast, designed to improve the numbers of wolves’ main prey, deer. Vincent-Lang noted the two intensive management programs have not been implemented yet. “Part of the reason is that we’re collecting additional information, both on deer and wolf in those two small areas where the board had approved intensive management programs for the Department to conduct once we had that baseline information. We’ve invested a significant amount of money in the next 3-4 years to inform the development of a status review, which this 90-day finding kicks off in terms of looking at wolf abundance, wolf distribution and wolf genetic structure in Southeast Alaska.” 

The finding kicks off a 60-day public comment period beginning March 31st. Fish and Wildlife will seek input and information on Southeast wolves. At a later date, the federal agency then begins a 12-month status review which leading to a decision on whether the animals should be listed as threatened or endangered. The agency determined a listing was not warranted for a prior petition submitted during the 1990s.

SPEAK FOR WOLVES ~YELLOWSTONE 2014




 Speak for Wolves @speakforwolves
speakforwolves.org


Published on Mar 24, 2014

 On June 28-29 2014, Americans of all walks of life will meet in Arch Park in Gardiner, Montana to tell our elected leaders that we need to reform wildlife management, at both, the state and federal level. Approximately 3000 grey wolves have been killed in the northern Rockies and Great Lakes region since they were delisted from the Endangered Species Act. 

 Speak for Wolves: Yellowstone 2014 is about taking an important step towards stopping the wolf slaughter that is currently taking place across the United States. We must take bold measures, however, and address the root-cause(s) of the wolf slaughter, the killing of other predators, as well as bison, wild horses and other members of the animal kingdom. The status quo for wildlife management in America is broken and it must be fixed.

 WHAT CHEATS ALASKA HUNTERS OF MORE MOOSE: WOLVES AND BEARS, OR INSECTS AND HARES?

 Dr. Stephen Stringham
January 25, 2012

 For years now, the Palin/Parnell Board of Game has been trumpeting the claim that moose and caribou populations across Alaska are being kept below carrying capacity by predation. They’ve ignored rebuttals by numerous biologists that some of our moose populations are actually at or above optimum density, and are suffering as a consequence from malnutrition, pathogens, and increased vulnerability to harsh weather and predation. Recent newspaper articles by retired agency biologists Rick Sinnott and Vic Van Ballenberghe are particularly informative.

 Their critics reply that even where moose are eating themselves out of house and home, some of these hoofstock are still being eaten by wolves and bears. The fewer moose that end up in predator bellies, the more can end up in human bellies. Even if we succeed in harvesting only one in ten moose that wolves would have killed, that’s still one more moose for our dining tables. End of story.

Political science at Alaska Fish and Game
Or is it. There is a vast scientific literature on predator-prey relationships. This covers not just wolves and bears preying on moose and caribou, but a huge range of species. In case after case, we find that predators can benefit prey populations by reducing the spread of pathogens (diseases and parasites) and by reducing competition from other herbivores. The issue is one of balance. Under what conditions do benefits outweigh costs? Under what conditions, if any, do wolves or bears indirectly help more moose or caribou survive than these predators kill?

 Contrary to what some people might think, asking this question isn’t some kind of Liberal plot to trick Alaskans into sacrificing our traditional lifestyle as hunters. Just the opposite. It’s a “plot” to save our lifestyle.

 If, Heaven forbid, you ever come down with cancer metastasizing throughout your body, you wouldn’t thank a doctor who refuses to consider any treatment but surgery because he doesn’t believe in medication or radiation. Nor should you thank a Board of Game that refuses to diligently consider any alternative to exterminating predators because killing is their single solution to all problems.

 Elsewhere in North America, some moose populations are being devastated not because of too many predators, but because of too few to minimize spread of ticks, lung worms, brain worms and other pathogens. Anyone interested in this should pay particular attention to the wolves and moose of Isle Royale in Lake Superior. Although this is an island population of moose that can’t go anywhere else to escape from wolves, the moose have survived and often become so numerous that they are debilitated by malnutrition and parasites. They don’t get enough energy and minerals from their food, leading to bone disease. Parasites suck their blood, cause horrendous hair loss, and infect their brains. Debilitated moose are called “walking carrion.” If wolves get them before harsh weather does, these moose become predation statistics. If winter wins the race, they get eaten anyway, but now as scavenging statistics. Bad though pathogens are at Isle Royale, without culling of debilitated animals by wolves, infestation rates might be much higher. So we’ve got to wonder how important wolves are for limiting the spread of pathogens among our own moose?

 A second role played by predators is limiting competition with other prey species for food. That’s particularly important where there isn’t enough food to go around -- which is currently true on the Kenai Peninsula. Food production has been shrinking rapidly for the past few decades (see Rick Sinnott’s Nov. 17 Alaska Dispatch analysis for details). Worse, a lot of the remaining food is being eaten by other herbivores. Among the most voracious are snowshoe hares, whose abundance can vary more than 100-fold between periods of scarcity and peaks like the current one. Browse is also lost to a plague of insects and plant pathogens such as Geometrid moths, Bruce spanworm, sawflies, fungi and root rot. (Read the article by Dr. John Morton, supervisory biologist for the Kenai National Wildlife Refuge).

 Loss of moose foods to hares, rodents, insects, and pathogens, are all pieces of the carrying-capacity puzzle. Putting them together suggests a picture something like that shown below: Total food supply declining, insects and pathogens taking an increasingly large fraction of that total; snowshoe hares cycling with a peak roughly every decade, and moose having to survive on the fraction of food that’s left over.

Dr. Stephen Stringham illustration
That diagram is designed just to illustrate basic concepts, but not to represent the exact amounts of food grown or lost to each of those competitors or the exact height and timing of peaks in the hare cycle. Also, the jumps in carrying capacity after the 1947 and 1969 fires aren’t shown. But the basic pattern should be realistic enough to illustrate how the current bottleneck in carrying capacity happened.

 Can carrying capacity be restored? Perhaps. For various reasons, wildfires and pesticides won’t solve the problem. So our best option may be reducing numbers of snowshoe hares far below the current peak and keeping them from rising so high in the future. The only method I see is enhancing predation on hares by owls and other raptors, as well as by mammalian carnivores such as lynx, fox, coyote, and wolf.

 Wolf too? Yes. Arctic hares are a primary prey of wolves in the far north. Our local snowshoe hares are somewhat smaller, but they are also far more abundant, especially during periods like this. As hare numbers rise, there are more of them to catch; and they become easier to catch because of increasing malnutrition, disease, and parasitism. This is when wolves could take the biggest bite out of the hare population.

 Better yet, the more that wolves feed on hares, the less they are likely to feed on moose. The relationship is probably shaped something like the following sketch.


How much does the diet of wolves shift from moose to hares as hare abundance increases? Dr. Stephen Stringham illustration

 That much is common sense. To manage wolf-moose relations, we need ballpark figures for the percents of wolf diets that are made up of moose meat vs. hare meat at any density of moose and of hares. Hopefully, Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G) biologists are finally free to provide the answers.

 Now back to our earlier question: Under what conditions, if any, do wolves or bears indirectly help more moose or caribou survive than these predators kill? Common sense suggests that when moose are well-fed, the only benefit they’d gain from predation on hares might be preventing hare numbers from peaking in the future. By contrast, when hare numbers are so high that moose become malnourished, hare predation by wolves could free up food for moose. I suspect that the relationship is similar to the following sketch:

One possible way that positive and negative influences by wolves on moose might relate to moose food supply. When moose food is scarce, due for instance to competition from hares, does wolf predation on hares benefit a moose population more than wolf predation on moose harms the population? Dr. Stephen Stringham illustration
A radical idea isn’t it? Whereas reducing numbers of predators might be a good idea when moose populations are predator-limited and alternative prey are scarce, just the opposite strategy might be advisable when moose populations are food-limited and hares are abundant -- as now appears to be true on the Kenai Peninsula.

 To maximize food supply for moose, how many wolves would we need; how many coyotes, foxes, lynx, owls and other predators that eat hares?

 In summary, wolves could benefit moose populations by curbing the spread of pathogens and by reducing food competition from hares. If there are any circumstances where those benefits to moose can compensate for wolf predation on moose, shouldn't wolf management aim at optimizing wolf abundance rather than on minimizing it?

 These questions need to be answered now, before wolves and bears in 15A and 15C are decimated. Not the kind of comic-book biology answers we’ve been force-fed by the Board of Game for the past several years, but the kind of answers that only professional wildlife biologists can provide. Alaska has some of the world’s finest. Now that Corey Rossi is gone, maybe ADF&G will unmuzzle them so that they can provide us with the full benefit of their intelligence.
Recall the old adage: “Look before you leap.” That’s just as important in predator-prey management as in warfare. Inaccurate “intelligence,” coupled with panic and ulterior motives, launched us into a war with Iraq which has torpedoed our national economy and ruined the lives of thousands of Americans. The same kind of panic talk -- exterminate the wolves before they exterminate the moose -- is the ultimate justification for rushing into “intensive management” on the Kenai Peninsula. Rather than succumbing to panic, we need to make sure that drastically reducing wolf and bear numbers won’t do more harm than good.

 Dr. Stephen Stringham, president of WildWatch LLC is a consulting wildlife biologist. He began his career researching moose on the Kenai Peninsula and went on to help pioneer a new strategy for managing hoofstock populations that markedly increases their productivity -- a strategy that inspired Alaska’s own management of moose and sheep. He earned his doctoral degree studying bears, then investigated predator-prey relationships. For the past two decades, his research has focused on wildlife behavior, the subject of his many newspaper articles and several books, including the Alaska Magnum Bear Safety Manual and When Bears Whisper, Do You Listen?

 Saturday. March 15. 2014
Please tell USFWS, Secretary Sally Jewell, and Director Dan Ashe to use sound science, not politics, in their decision to rescind or move forward with the decision to delist wolves as endangered species from the E.S.A. 

Tell them we need to end this War on Wolves. The Gray Wolves and the Mexican Gray Wolves cannot withstand too much more USA political posturing while this "delisting proposal" decision drags on. 
Wolves do not use frivolous human calendars.
They are running out of time.
