The county advised that an Endangered Species Act 10(j) rule must be in place prior to any reintroduction efforts and supports changes to compensation ratios for all livestock if found to be attacked by wolves. The 10(j) rule is designed to “relieve landowner concerns that reintroductions may result in restrictions on the use of private, tribal, or public land,” according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It allows the FWS to designate a population as “experimental”
