In late November, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced the inclusion of the North American wolverine ( Gulo gulo luscus )—a mammal in the weasel family that lives in the Arctic, subarctic, and mountainous regions of the Northern Hemisphere—on the National List of Threatened and Endangered Species. This marks a victory in the long legal battle initiated by numerous environmental groups in the 1990s.
Under the U.S. Endangered Species Act, wolverines now enjoy protection that includes the geographic area that constitutes their habitat, which will broaden the possibilities of conserving the species against the impacts of the climate crisis.
