Wolves Removed from Federal Endangered Species List Michigan's wolf population was officially removed from the federal endangered species list on Friday, Jan. 27. Management authority over wolves has returned to the DNR, putting the state's Wolf Management Plan into effect. Wolves remain a protected, nongame species in Michigan, but state management will afford more options when dealing with wolves threatening livestock or dogs.
