Take Action for a National Wolf Recovery Plan

  Share This Story

By Rodger Schlickeisen


With the support of caring people like you, today we launched our latest legal efforts to save wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies, notifying the Secretary of the Interior that we intend to sue to reverse last week's elimination of vital federal protections for these amazing animals.

But with the future of wolf recovery and the lives of hundreds of wolves at stake, Defenders of Wildlife is leaving no stone unturned to ensure a lasting future for wolves in America.

You can help. Please send a message to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service right now and urge federal officials to adopt a national wolf recovery strategy.

By removing wolves in Idaho, Wyoming and Montana from the list of federally protected endangered species last week, the Bush/Cheney Administration has officially green-lighted state plans to kill as many as 70% of the wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

The announcement opened the door to the killing of more than a 1,000 wolves by aerial gunning, trapping, poisoning and other lethal methods. It could also close the door on wolf restoration in Oregon, Washington, Colorado and other parts of the gray wolf's historic range.

Help ensure a lasting future for America's wolves. Send your message to the Fish and Wildlife Service now.

Last week, Defenders and our allies at the Natural Resources Defense Council filed a formal petition with the Fish and Wildlife Service calling for a national wolf recovery plan.

Such a plan would protect not only wolves in the Northern Rockies, but also provide a needed boost for wolf recovery and management efforts in the Southwest, Northeast and Pacific Northwest.

Will you lend your voice to the fight? Help us send 75,000 messages in support of this forward-looking effort to protect the gray wolf's important place in America by next Wednesday.

Please take action now by sending your message in support of a national wolf recovery plan.

Thirty five years ago, wolves in the U.S. were listed as protected under the Endangered Species Act. Every day since, Defenders of Wildlife has fought to save America's wolves.
