There’s a unique wolf population in the far Northwest that needs your help!
Alexander Archipelago wolves are a subspecies of gray wolf that makes their home along coasts from southeast Alaska to Canada. The situation for these wolves has grown so dire, that we’re calling for them to finally be listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA).
Stand with us today and demand that these wolves get the legal protections they need to survive!
Friend of Defenders, the threats are real. One sub-population of these wolves on Prince of Wales Island in southeast Alaska saw a record-high 165 wolves killed in a two-month period this past winter – out of a population last estimated at only 170 wolves!
Throughout the forests where they live, these animals are increasingly vulnerable to threats from industrial logging, road building, trapping and hunting, and large-scale habitat loss.
