The resolution, introduced by a group of Michigan representatives, urges the United States Congress to pass legislation that would reinstate the previous decision by the Department of the Interior to remove the gray wolf from the endangered species list. This change would allow for the management of gray wolf populations to be handled at the state level, rather than under federal protection. The resolution highlights the successful recovery of gray wolf populations in Michigan, which have increased significantly since their initial classification as endangered in 1967, with current estimates indicating over 750 wolves in the Upper Peninsula.

The resolution argues that the continued federal protection of gray wolves is no longer necessary, as their population has stabilized and is in equilibrium with available habitat. It expresses concern that maintaining their endangered status could lead to overpopulation, which may negatively impact other wildlife, particularly the declining white-tailed deer population in Michigan. The resolution calls for Congress to act on this matter and requests that copies of the resolution be sent to key congressional leaders and Michigan's congressional delegation.
