As a partner in the recently completed Absaroka Beartooth Wolverine Project, NRCC is assisting to complete a final, 5-year summary report of this project, which will be available this summer. We also continue to partner with the Gallatin National Forest on some selected live-capture work in the Absaroka Range. Our goals with this continued effort include detection and gathering of further information regarding reproduction and large-scale movements of wolverine in Greater Yellowstone. We are currently working to establish wolverine surveys and monitoring sites in large tracts of Wyoming that have not been formally assessed for wolverine presence, but that hold high potential for holding wolverine populations. We continue in our efforts to build a broad public constituency for wolverine conservation, and are exploring options for accelerated awareness-building work in other Rocky Mountain States.
The US Fish and Wildlife Service is currently assessing the status of the US wolverine population, and is scheduled to release a decision in December of 2010 on whether or not the wolverine is warranted a listing on the Endangered Species Act.
As always, we are interested in any wolverine sightings you may have. Please contact us with sighting reports or any wolverine questions you may have. Remember, wolverine track identification cards are available from NRCC or online.<http://nrcc.createsend1.com/t/r/l/nihiyk/ilkkzuyy/z>
