AZ HB2787

Prohibits Arizona state agencies, political subdivisions, and employees from using personnel or financial resources to enforce, administer, or cooperate with the federal Mexican Wolf Reintroduction Program under the Endangered Species Act

Exempts the state's livestock loss program administered by the Livestock Loss Board from this prohibition

Cites legislative findings that the Mexican wolf population (286 in the wild, 356 in captivity as of 2024) has exceeded the original federal goal of 100 wolves set in 1998, with nine consecutive years of growth

States that over $220 million has been spent on the reintroduction project nationally, with individual wolf costs estimated at $500,000 to $1 million each, and projects $47-59 million in additional costs through 2030

Finds that Mexican wolf predation causes between $69,000 and $162,000 in direct and indirect losses per wolf to local ranchers, and that the species should be delisted from endangered status as it is no longer at risk of extinction
