No force or effect (a) Findings The Congress finds the following: (1) The Mexican wolf population has increased by 10 percent in recent years, including increases in population in each of the last 5 years. (2) At the end of 2014, the United States Fish and Wildlife Service documented a presence of a minimum of 109 Mexican wolves on the landscape. The Service further stated on a conference call on January 17, 2015 that there are an additional 250 Mexican wolves in captivity. (3) The Mexican wolf population not in captivity increased 31 percent in 2014. (4) Nearly 90 percent of the Mexican wolf’s original habitat was within the borders of Mexico. (5) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service, under the Endangered Species Act of 1973 ( 16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq. ), has been using the same recovery plan for the Mexican wolf since the early 1980s. (6) That plan is not based on the best available science and is significantly out of date. (7) Officials have been calling for years for an updated recovery plan that includes metrics that, if met, will allow for delisting of the Mexican wolf. (8) The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has failed to issue and comply with an updated recovery plan despite acknowledging that the current plan is not in compliance with that Act.

(10) The 10(j) nonessential experimental population program for the Mexican wolf failed to secure funding before being implemented.
