Defender of Wildlife, In just one two-month season, trappers killed a record-high 165 wolves that resided on Prince of Wales Island in the Tongass National Forest.
That’s 97% of the most recent population estimate! This catastrophe could spell disaster for this small population. We need decisive action to keep these wolves from disappearing altogether! Tell the US Forest Service to take immediate action to protect Alexander Archipelago wolves! These wolves live on Prince of Wales Island in the Tongass National forest, America’s largest national forest. They were already vulnerable to threats from industrial logging, road building, trapping and hunting, and large-scale habitat loss. The record-high mortality follows the Alaska Department of Fish and Game’s reckless decision to eliminate any limits on killing wolves for hunters and trappers on Prince of Wales Island. The result could be catastrophic for this already vulnerable population – add your voice to the growing call to save these wolves, before time runs out! We have to act to save this population from brutal mismanagement. Unless the Forest Service steps in and takes action, who knows what the next hunting season could do to this wolf population? Thank you for all you do on behalf of wildlife. Sincerely,
