Feds propose listing wolverines as threatened
Wolverines, one of the West’s most elusive high-country predators may soon find a place on the endangered species list because of climate threats to the deep snow and frigid temperatures they need to survive.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced Friday a proposal to list wolverines as a threatened species.
Wolverines and humans have little interaction because the animals live in such high, wilderness terrain. As with more well-known species such as polar bears, the biggest threat to wolverines is habitat loss because of climate change.
“This is an unusual case in which the species is actually doing pretty well right now … But now we have information that shows wolverine habitat is likely to be directly impacted by climate change.”
“When we list something, we not only look at the current situation, but we are required to project what threats may exist in the future,” Sartorius said.
Studies show wolverine habitat will reduce significantly over the next 30 years and very significantly over the next 70 or 80 years.
“Increasing their population to help sustain them longer into the future is what we can do now,” she said.
