- Past and present wolf-related litigation has cost Idaho significant public money and resources, with other states facing similar costly legal challenges
- Wolves are addressed regionally by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, meaning one state's actions can impact other states in the same region
- Legislature strongly encourages the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and Governor's Office of Species Conservation to lead meetings with similar state agencies to establish cooperative and collaborative efforts on wolf management and control issues
