Dear Supporter:
Last month, anti-wildlife politicians introduced legislation1 that would eliminate endangered species protections for the gray wolf.
This attack comes after over 500 gray wolves were killed across three western states, including 20% of Yellowstone's gray wolf population, where wolves do not have federal protections.
If passed, all other states nationwide would be given a free pass to bait, snare, and run-down wolves with motorized vehicles, among other egregious methods of wolf killing.2
We're launching a rapid-response campaign to fight back: not only must we defend gray wolves from these politicians in Congress, but we also have to strengthen the Endangered Species Act – PERMANENTLY. But we need 150 new monthly members to sign up before THURSDAY at MIDNIGHT.
Will you be one of them?
Help defend gray wolves from cruel, senseless attacks and protect species everywhere by becoming a monthly donor to the Sierra Club. Your sustained support of just $5/month makes the difference between gray wolves retaining critical protections or being gunned down by ruthless hunters.
To show you our gratitude for your support, we'll send you this FREE SOS Kit as our thanks!
Over the last couple of years, gray wolves have endured cruel attacks and senseless slaughter.
Hunters in Wisconsin killed 216 gray wolves in just 60 hours in 2021, exceeding the state's quota by 82%, before federal protections were reinstated.3 And in the last hunting and trapping season in Montana, gray wolf recovery efforts in Yellowstone experienced a heartbreaking setback after hunters and trappers killed 25 gray wolves there, the most since reintroduction of gray wolves to Yellowstone in the 1990s.
Time and again, anti-science politicians think they should get to decide when a species gets removed from the Endangered Species List. This all but guarantees they will be driven back to the brink of extinction. And scientists have demonstrated we are already in the midst of a global biodiversity crisis.4
We can't afford to lose any more wolves – or any other species – to anti-science politicians.
Become one of the 150 Wilderness Guardians we need by midnight on THURSDAY and we'll send you our free SOS Kit. Fuel Sierra Club's national campaign to go after any politician that would threaten the recovery of this keystone species.
Gray wolves roam for hundreds and even hundreds of miles and need to be safe from unwarranted attacks and senseless persecution.
And because of their irreplaceable cultural significance, over 700 Tribal Nations on both sides of the US and Canadian border have demanded wolves be protected. The gray wolf also plays a critical role in ecosystem health, helping to maintain species diversity and balance.
Your monthly gift today will sustain our work to apply pressure in every district and in every state to stop politicians' deadly crusade against the gray wolf.
 Help us protect gray wolves from being attacked, mutilated, and killed with your Wilderness Guardian gift of $5/month. Donate monthly before midnight THURSDAY
and help us reach our 150 new Wilderness Guardians goal.
Remember, you'll get our FREE SOS Kit!
Your sustained support of the Sierra Club allows us to mobilize a movement wherever wolves are threatened to secure the national protections they deserve.
Thanks in advance for your support. Our nation's wildlife won't survive without it.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Rice
Wildlife Campaign Manager
