Hi John,
Anti-wolf forces in Congress want to take away Endangered Species Act protection from wolves across the lower 48 states.
That would mean more hunts, more trapping with painful snares, more packs destroyed.
The Center for Biological Diversity will never give up our fight to protect these loyal, family-oriented creatures. We're in court for them now — and winning.
Please help us stand guard for wolves by giving to the Endangered Species Act Protection Fund.
Under the Endangered Species Act, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service must develop a plan for full recovery of species at risk.
Existing recovery plans for gray wolves are decades old — and even those plans only cover places wolves already live. So we went to court to secure a future for wolves across the lower 48.
The Service tried to get our case dismissed, but a federal judge sided with us, agreeing the agency has not met federal requirements for a nationwide gray wolf recovery plan.
Today gray wolves live in as little as 15% of their historic range. Once nearly eradicated, those in the lower 48 are today mostly found in the Northern Rocky Mountains, where they aren't federally protected, and the Great Lakes region.
But there is hope.
When the Service tried to strip away wolves' federal protection in 2020, we went to court to stop it and won.
We helped a ballot measure get passed in Colorado to restore wolves there.
And earlier this month, a new pack of gray wolves was identified in the southern Sierra Nevada, 200 miles from the nearest known pack in California.
The resilience of gray wolves is awe-inspiring. They can still thrive in the wild in places they once called home — if only we give them a chance.
The Act requires we provide that chance, and the Center will keep fighting in court to make it happen.
Help us secure a future for wildlife today with a gift to the Endangered Species Act Protection Fund.
For the wild,
