In his letter published 12/11, Perry Lund failed to mention that since the 1997 plan was written, understanding of wolf biology has improved significantly and that scientific data was incorporated in the updated Michigan Wolf Management plans of 2008 and 2015.
Lund quoted the 1997 plan stating that when wolf population reaches 200, they will be considered for removal from the Michigan Endangered Species List which happened in April 2009 when wolves were reclassified as state protected non-game species. In 2016, the legislature classified wolves as a game species.
The 2015 plan clearly states, “The minimum criterion of 200 wolves does not reflect the maximum number of wolves the available habitat in Michigan can support…. this minimum requirement is not necessarily sufficient to provide all of the ecological and social benefits valued by the public. Accordingly, 200 wolves is not a target population size. Management will be conducted to maintain the wolf population above the minimum size requirement and facilitate those wolf-related benefits while minimizing and resolving conflicts where they occur… This plan does not identify a target population size, nor does it establish an upper limit for the number of wolves in the State…”
