Hi John,

The National Park Service just sold out wildlife in Alaska.

It's insisting on letting sport hunters trap and kill wolf pups right along with their mothers; it wants to let them use dogs to hunt down black bears.

The Center for Biological Diversity will do all it can to save the wild creatures of Alaska from this cruelty.

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

The Park Service has adopted new rules for wildlife management in Alaska's national preserves. And they're frightening.

Sport hunters can kill wolves, coyotes, and their young in their dens.

Black bears, even those with cubs, are allowed to be tracked and hunted using artificial light, and their dens, too, will be fair game. And, as with wolves, hunters will be welcome to use hounds to chase the bears down.

They can even use motorboats to target caribou swimming across rivers.

These tactics are a vicious attack on wildlife on lands that belong to all of us.

And this is happening in our national preserves — supposed to be sacred places dedicated to keeping nature alive.

Shockingly the Park Service's regional director in Alaska has claimed the rules — declaring open season on wolves, bears and caribou — will advance the agency's conservation goals. That idea is as dangerous as it is false and immoral.

The extinction crisis is here. To save the wildlife around us from disappearing forever, we need to protect it — and if we can't even do that in the places that are carved out especially for nature, we won't stand a chance.

Killing bears and wolves in their dens, and taking aim at swimming caribou, are abhorrent insults to the wild beauty of the world.

Please help us push back by giving now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
