Wolf Management

The Oregon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan and associated technical rules guide all ODFW wolf related activities. ODFW manages wolves in two wolf management zones (West Wolf Management Zone, East Wolf Management Zone). Wolves throughout Oregon were delisted from the state Endangered Species List on November 10, 2015. At the time of state delisting, wolves west of Highways 395/78/95 remained listed on the federal Endangered Species Act (ESA). Wolves west of Highways 395/78/95 were removed from the federal ESA on January 4, 2021. Wolves are still protected statewide by the Wolf Plan and Oregon statute.

Wolves and Livestock

The goal of Oregon’s Wolf Conservation and Management Plan is to ensure the conservation of gray wolves as required by Oregon law while protecting the social and economic interests of all Oregonians. Minimizing wolf-livestock conflict and reducing livestock losses to wolves is an important part of the Wolf Plan.
