Hi John,
The most extreme anti-wildlife funding bill ever written was just put forward in Congress.
In addition to gutting funding for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Fish and Wildlife Service, it targets gray wolves, who would lose federal protection across most of the lower 48 states.
Without the Endangered Species Act protecting these animals, the wolf slaughter we've seen in the northern Rockies will spread.
Please make a gift now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. The Center for Biological Diversity will do all we can to save wolves and other species under attack.
We know what happens when wolves aren't protected.
They get hunted down in places like Wisconsin, where more than 200 were killed in just 72 hours.
They get treated with cruelty and killed with impunity in the northern Rockies — in Montana, they can be killed using bait and strangulation snares. In Idaho, hunters chase wolves down with hounds and all-terrain vehicles.
And across most of Wyoming, they can be killed without a license in nearly any way, anytime.
Yet instead of protecting endangered species, anti-wildlife forces in Congress want to push wolves closer to the brink.
Wolverines, grizzly bears, and northern long-eared bats are also in the crosshairs.
It's all part of a cynical effort to weaken the Act, the most powerful tool we've got to defend species on the brink of extinction.
The Center was founded to stand up and fight for the wild.
Our love for wolves and other species is far stronger than the disdain that anti-wildlife forces feel for the natural world.
We know yours is, too.
Please give today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
For the wild,
