Bear cubs and coyote pups are being killed in their dens. Wolves are being gunned down from helicopters. But now, thanks to advocacy from Friends of the Earth, members of Congress are standing up, and have issued a new call to end these horrific practices. Our pressure is working! Help us save the wolves, bears, and caribou with a $10 donation to Friends of the Earth.
It’s been called “The Extinction Plan,” and for good reason. This plan green-lights barbaric and cruel hunting practices, undoing critical Endangered Species protections, and handing over key wildlife habitats and public lands to Big Oil. All of this is a direct threat to some of America’s most iconic species and landscapes.
Thanks to these rollbacks of common-sense wildlife protections, trophy hunters in Alaska’s nature preserves are now using these once-illegal practices with impunity:
- Shooting hibernating mother bears and cubs in their dens
- Using motorboats to shoot swimming caribou
- Using bacon grease and doughnuts to bait bears
- Killing wolf pups in their dens
- Targeting animals from airplanes, helicopters, and snowmobiles
America’s wildlife and public lands need your help! Can you chip in $10 to Friends of the Earth right now?

These so-called “hunting practices” are cruel and reprehensible -- they were banned for good reason. Even worse, they are happening in nature preserves, the very places intended as refuges for America’s iconic species like bears, wolves, and caribou.
These inhumane practices have historically had widespread and bipartisan opposition -- but the Oil Lobby is spending huge money to block progress. Big Oil's plan is to weaken the Endangered Species Act enough to clear the way for massive fossil fuel projects.
We aren’t letting that happen. Thanks to effective advocacy work from Friends of the Earth and members like you, we’re already forcing a change. Last month, dozens of members of Congress spoke out in a Dear Colleague letter, vigorously opposing the rollbacks of hunting regulations. This only happened after over 9,000 Friends of the Earth members like you reached out to their representatives to build support for just such a letter.
Our advocacy is working, but we need to keep up the pressure now -- while we have momentum. Help protect our iconic species with a $10 donation to Friends of the Earth.

Our voices are being heard in this fight -- and it’s thanks to thousands of Friends of the Earth members like you who continue to reach out, take action, and support this work.
Endangered species laws provide critical protection for America’s iconic animal species. But their importance doesn’t stop there. These laws are also some of our most effective safeguards in the fight to protect our public lands from Big Oil and curb catastrophic climate change. For the sake of our wildlife, for the sake of our planet, we can’t let the keys of our public lands be handed over to the fossil fuel industry.
Friends of the Earth is working at all levels to educate our congressional members on the implications of these rollbacks, and fight for crucial protections like The PAW and FIN Conservation Act, which would put a stop to these attacks and win permanent protection for our wildlife and public lands. With increasingly vocal congressional support, we now have a new chance to go on offense, and undo the damage done to the Endangered Species Act. Today, we need members like you to have our back, help us cross the finish line, and win the protections we’ve been fighting for.
Help us win permanent protection for our public lands and the wolves, bears, and other species that call these lands home.
