“February 1, 2013: Wolverines were nearly extirpated from
the contiguous United States in the early 20th century due to broad-scale
predator trapping and poisoning programs. Since that time they have made
a remarkable recovery. Unfortunately, climate warming over the next century is
likely to significantly reduce wolverine habitat, to the point where
persistence of wolverines in the contiguous United States, without
intervention, is in doubt. Endangered Species Act (ESA) protection and
actions by Federal and State agencies in partnership with private landowners
and nongovernmental organizations can help protect the wolverine from
extinction by increasing its ability to persist in the face of climate
change. ”-FWS
