Defender,
The Mexican gray wolf is in jeopardy, and the agency responsible for their recovery isn’t doing enough to save them.
Only 163 endangered Mexican gray wolves remain in the wild in the U.S. The Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has been charged with updating a plan to prevent them from going extinct – but instead, they’ve indicated they’ll leave these wolves in danger of extinction in the wild.
ACT NOW: Don’t let the FWS abandon Mexican gray wolves!
Mexican gray wolves are the most endangered gray wolf subspecies on Earth. With constant threats like trapping and federally sanctioned kill orders, these wolves remain in danger.
But several years ago, FWS developed new rules for Mexican gray wolves that actually inhibited their recovery – including deeming the only wild population of these wolves “non-essential” and placing an arbitrary cap on their numbers and range.
After Defenders and other conservation organizations sued, a Federal Court agreed and directed FWS to make revisions to save these wolves, and now FWS is considering the scope of the changes to be made.
We have to act now: Tell FWS to put endangered Mexican gray wolves on the path to recovery!
Even under a federal court mandate to get its act together to save these animals, FWS is dragging its feet – and the longer they wait to take appropriate action, the greater the chance this population disappears.
We can’t let them get away with holding back Mexican gray wolf recovery any longer. Please raise your voice to bring these wolves back to the wild, while there’s still time!
