Hi John,

As few as 80 grizzly bears roam the woods and forests of Idaho.

The loss of a single bear could damage their recovery, a risk made far greater by a law that expanded wolf-trapping in the state. We're in court fighting it.

Idaho has doubled down on its assault on wolves — and grizzlies could pay the price, too.

It removed limits on how many wolves a single hunter can kill. It created a year-round trapping season for them on private property. And it extended the use of painful, indiscriminate traps and snares — increasing the chances of grizzly bears and other species getting maimed or killed.

Besides being cruel, that's a violation of the Endangered Species Act, which prohibits harm to endangered species like grizzlies.

So the Center and our allies sued. We were in federal court last week pressing the case that it's illegal to expose threatened species to such danger.

The threats that Idaho's law poses to wildlife show the state can't be trusted to manage it.

At last count its wolf population had decreased by nearly 13%. This is what happens when you declare open season on a species that's still struggling to recover.

And it's why we're also fighting to restore federal protection to wolves in the northern Rockies.

Grizzlies roam great distances, and with so many traps and snares around, it's only a matter of time before one suffers and dies.

Saving species and protecting the wild means removing threats to endangered creatures. It's the right thing to do — and it's also the law.

Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund today.
