Gray wolves are going back on the endangered-
species list. The United States Fish and Wildlife
Service (USFWS) creates this list. It took the
gray wolf off in early 2021. But on February 10,
2022, a judge made a ruling. He decided the
animals still need protection.
Jeffrey S. White was the judge in the case.
He ruled that the USFWS had failed to analyze
the decision carefully. It didn’t think about the
impact of delisting gray wolves. The judge’s
decision affects most of the continental U.S.
Kitty Block is with the Humane Society of
the U.S. She is the group’s president. Block

Children’s Eternal
Rainforest, in
Monteverde,
Costa Rica
This place is proof that kids can
do great things.
The Children’s Eternal Rainforest
is a 56,000-acre private nature
reserve in Costa Rica. In Spanish,
it is called Bosque Eterno de los
Niños. In 1987, a group of
Swedish schoolchildren learned
about the rainforest. They were
inspired to help preserve it.
They raised money to buy 15 acres
of land. The group soon organized a
fundraising campaign. It got money
from all over the world. By 1992, the
group raised a total of $2 million.
The money bought even more land.
Now visitors can enjoy hiking
