Environmentalists had successfully sued when protections for wolves were lifted in former President Donald Trump 's final days in office.

Friday ’s filing with the 9th U.S. District Court of Appeals was President Joe Biden administration's first explicit step to revive that rule.

If successful, the move would put wolves under state oversight nationwide and open the door for hunting to resume in the Great Lakes region.
