US House Passes Bill to Delist Gray Wolves from Endangered Species List

The contentious bill, narrowly approved, now faces opposition in the Senate and from the White House.

The US House of Representatives passed the 'Trust the Science Act' by a narrow margin of 209-205, aiming to remove gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act protections in 48 states.
Introduced by Republican Representative Lauren Boebert, the bill has sparked a heated debate over the management and conservation of gray wolves.
Opponents, including the White House and numerous conservation groups, argue the bill undermines scientific and public processes in wildlife management.
Supporters claim the gray wolf population has recovered sufficiently, citing impacts on livestock and local communities.
The bill's future in the Senate remains uncertain amid strong opposition and a potential presidential veto.
