A bill to require the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to update the Post-delisting Monitoring Plan for the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment of the Gray Wolf, and for other purposes.

Bill 118 s 1788, also known as the "Gray Wolf Monitoring Plan Update Act," is a proposed piece of legislation that aims to mandate the Director of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service to revise the Post-delisting Monitoring Plan for the Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment of the Gray Wolf. The bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to the management and conservation of the Gray Wolf population.

The Western Great Lakes Distinct Population Segment of the Gray Wolf has been a subject of conservation efforts and controversy due to its status as an endangered species. The current Post-delisting Monitoring Plan, which was established after the Gray Wolf was removed from the endangered species list, is seen as outdated and in need of revision to ensure the continued protection and monitoring of the population.

If passed, this bill would require the Director of the US Fish and Wildlife Service to update the monitoring plan to reflect the latest scientific research and data on the Gray Wolf population in the Western Great Lakes region. This would help to ensure that the management and conservation efforts for the Gray Wolf are based on the most accurate and up-to-date information available. Overall, the Gray Wolf Monitoring Plan Update Act seeks to improve the monitoring and management of the Gray Wolf population in the Western Great Lakes region, with the goal of promoting the long-term conservation and sustainability of this iconic species.
