Sawtooth Wolves
To protect wolves in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area (SNRA) of central Idaho, we won injunctive relief prohibiting the federal government from killing wolves after conflicts with domestic sheep and cattle grazing. The Forest Service was also required to prepare environmental impact statements to analyze livetock grazing and explore new management alternatives to avoid conflicts with wolves.
As a result of this case, wolf packs in the Sawtooths and Boulder-White Clouds have been protected from extirmination under the "wolf reintroduction rule" since 2002.
