The North American wolverine will receive long-delayed federal protections under a Biden administration proposal released on Wednesday
Across most of the United States, wolverines were wiped out by the early 1900s from unregulated trapping and poisoning campaigns.
In the coming decades, warming temperatures are expected to shrink the mountain snowpack wolverines rely on to dig dens where they birth and raise their young. The decision Wednesday by the US Fish and Wildlife Service follows more than two decades of disputes over the risks of climate change, and threats to the long-term survival of the elusive species.
