The scientists said wolves in the three states still face threats because their numbers remain relatively small and because the wolf populations in the Yellowstone area, in central Idaho and in northwest Montana don't intermingle.
"This recovery goal is not based on any biologically relevant information such as demographic or genetic data," according to the letter sent to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wolf recovery coordinator Ed Bangs during a public comment period that ended Wednesday.

"Federal officials have said a delisting proposal could be finished by early next year, although legal challenges could drag out the process."
Which means that the delisting process would be stalled due to filings of legal injunctions through legislation. It's going to take a bit of time before anything becomes finalized.
Well at least the delisting won't be immediate.
Hopefully something can be done for our wolves in the meantime.
