The US Government Moved to Delist Gray Wolves on Friday. A Wolf Documentary Twenty Years in the Making Starts Streaming This Week
The move follows a 90-day order directing the Interior Department to review whether gray wolves and Mexican gray wolves can be removed from federal protections.
- On Friday, September 4, 2026, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled 'Supporting America's Ranchers,' directing Interior Secretary Doug Burgum to determine within 90 days whether gray and Mexican gray wolves should be delisted from the Endangered Species Act.
- Five days later, on September 9, The Green Channel began streaming *The Last Howl*, a documentary director Matthew Todd Paproski spent twenty years developing to explore wildlife conservation and disability inclusion.
- Representative Jeff Hurd, a Republican representing Colorado's 3rd Congressional District, applauded the order, stating producers in his district have been 'left frustrated by a system that too often leaves them without the tools they need.'
- Colorado Parks and Wildlife public information officer Luke Perkins noted that delisting would shift regulatory authority to the state, but management tools would remain similar under existing state law and restoration plans.
- Defenders of Wildlife senior vice president Mike Senatore criticized the directive in a Saturday statement, arguing it perpetuates a 'Big Bad Wolf' narrative instead of investing in proven nonlethal deterrents for predator management.
