Order Granting Preliminary Injunction to Restore Wolf Protections
This opinion, issued by Federal District Judge Donald Molloy on Friday, July 18, 2008, orders the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to restore federal Endangered Species Act protections to the Northern Rocky Mountain population of gray wolves pending the resolution of a lawsuit, brought by NRDC and our allies, challenging the Bush Administration's decision to strip the region's wolves of their federal protection.
