Warming temperatures are expected to diminish the mountain snowpack that wolverines rely on to dig dens to birth and raise their young.
This Feb. 27, 2016, file photo provided by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, from a remote camera set by biologist Chris Stermer, shows a mountain wolverine in the Tahoe National Forest near Truckee, Calif., a rare sighting of the predator in the state. . , following years of dispute over how much risk climate change and other threats pose to the rare and elusive predators.
The Fish and Wildlife Service received a petition to protect wolverines in 2000 and first proposed protections in 2010. It later sought to withdraw that proposal, but was blocked by a federal judge who said the snow-dependent animals were "squarely in the path of climate change." That means a 2013 determination from officials that made wolverines eligible for potential protections is back in effect.
