Craig Miller, Southwest Representative of Defenders, said that, "The Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed a fair and balanced rule that addresses all of the legitimate concerns of landowners without compromising recovery of the Mexican wolf, the most endangered wolf in the world. Today's action brings us a step closer to the day when El Lobo returns to the wilds of the Southwest."
