Wolverines Threatened With Extinction Receive Federal Protection
Wolverines Threatened With Extinction , Receive Federal Protection.
On November 29, the Biden administration
released a proposal to give the North American
wolverine long-delayed federal protections.
ABC News reports that the proposal comes following warnings by scientists that climate change is likely
to destroy the rare species' snowy mountain habitat.
By the early 1900s, wolverines had been mostly
wiped out across the U.S. as a result of
unregulated hunting and poisoning campaigns.
An estimated 300 surviving wolverines continue
to live in the contiguous U.S. in isolated groups at
high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains.
Increasing temperatures are expected
to reduce the mountain snowpack, which
wolverines rely on to birth and raise their cubs.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's decision to protect
wolverines comes after over two decades of debate
regarding threats to the species' long-term survival.
According to officials, the new protections are , ādue primarily to the ongoing and increasing
impacts of climate change and associated
habitat degradation and fragmentation.ā.
ABC reports that wolverines, which resemble
small bears, are the world's largest
species of terrestrial weasels.
A 2020 lawsuit against the Fish and Wildlife Service claimed
that wolverines face extinction due to a combination of
climate change, habitat loss and low genetic diversity.
.
Scientists have suggested that some of the species'
losses could be offset if wolverines are allowed to
recolonize in areas like California's Sierra Nevada

Vance's criticisms of the Biden administration's handling of the Ukraine war and his belief that the conflict benefits American business have fueled tensions with Ukrainian President Zelensky. With Trump promising to end the war swiftly, their potential election victory could significantly alter US-Ukraine relations.

DNC Chair Jamie Harrison is
confident that Democrats will handle the
issue and "land this plane on our own.".
Joe Biden will be on the ballot in Ohio and
all 50 states, and Ohio Republicans agree.
But when the time has come for action,
they have failed to act every time, so
Democrats will land this plane on our own, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Through a virtual roll call, we will ensure that
Republicans can't chip away at our democracy
through incompetence or partisan tricks and
that Ohioans can exercise their right to vote
for the presidential candidate of their choice, Jamie Harrison, DNC chair, via statement.
Mike DeWine, Republican governor
of Ohio, chimed in as well.
While I understand the Democratic National
Committee has just today proposed a
work-around to help get President Biden
on the Ohio ballot, it is prudent legislation
be passed to get this done. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
As I previously said, we do not want to leave
something so basic as having the sitting
President of the United States on the ballot
to others when this can-and should-be done
legislatively. It's the right thing to do. , Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement.
For these reasons, it is important that
a bill or multiple bills that accomplish
these common-sense measures come
to my desk right away this week.
It's the right thing to do, Mike DeWine, Ohio governor, via statement
