Here's the official park service announcement: https://parkplanning.nps.gov/projectHom ... ctId=59316
Apparently there's a 30 day waiting period before it's a final, final, (final, final) decision...

Just curious, shouldn’t we send a letter or email or phone call in support for this program ASAP to Phyllis Green who is mentioned in the announcement?

I still say they let things take their natural course. So it’s been a while since I’ve been on the forms or since I’ve had the opportunity to look what’s going on in the island. Are the wolves completely extinct on the island as of right now?

Never mind. I see the wolf moose study states that there is still two wolves on the island.

This is good news. I'm hoping it goes something like this:

Two that cannot mate. They are related and had offspring that died due to inbreeding.
