Arizona urges Congress to delist the Mexican wolf as an endangered species and modify related protections.

Arizona argues that the Mexican wolf population in the United States has sufficiently recovered and no longer requires the protections of the Endangered Species Act of 1973. The state urges Congress to pass H.R. 4255, which would delist the Mexican wolf, defund the Nonessential Experimental Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Project, and transfer management to state and local authorities. Arizona also requests that ranchers be allowed to protect their property and receive compensation for losses related to Mexican wolves.
