Minnesota HF1331 mandates annual statewide wolf population surveys and quarterly updates on wolf deaths.

Minnesota HF1331 requires the Department of Natural Resources to conduct an annual statewide wolf population survey to estimate the wolf population. The bill also mandates the commissioner to compile a quarterly list of known wolf deaths, specifying the date and location of each death, and making this list available on the department's website. The wolf management plan includes goals to ensure the long-term survival of wolves, reduce conflicts between wolves and humans, minimize livestock and pet depredation, and manage the ecological impact of wolves on prey species and other predators.
