In case you didn't hear this tragic news: The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has
officially stripped gray wolves of their federal Endangered Species Act
protections in the lower 48 states.

It's a heartbreaking setback that could cost countless wolves their lives - but
we'll make sure it's not the end of the wolf recovery story. We're taking the
administration to court to defend gray wolves still fighting for their lives.
And we could really use your help.

We can't let the dream of wolf recovery die. Please make your emergency gift
today to keep up the fight for gray wolves and other imperiled wildlife across
the country!

[[link removed]]Defender,

It’s a sudden and tragic end to what should have been one of the great wildlife
comeback stories of all time.

Today the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service officially stripped gray wolves in the
lower 48 states of their federal protection under the Endangered Species Act.
This ruthless decision leaves gray wolves at the mercy of states, some with
increasingly hostile anti-wolf policies – even some where we’ve already seen
wolves slaughtered.

This isn’t over. We’re taking this administration to court to defend gray wolves
fighting for their lives. Will you help?

Wolves need your help today. Please make your emergency donation to help fight
back to save the lives of wolves and other imperiled animals!

We cannot and will not allow wolves to be abandoned, and their recovery to be
cut off after decades of work.

Wolves occupy only 10% of their former range and need continued federal
protection to fully recover. There are still vast areas of suitable habitat in
the lower 48 states where wolves have not recovered, including Colorado. As
recently as last year, a wolf spotted in Colorado brought a spark of optimism
for the future of wolves in the Southern Rockies.

That hope could now be smashed.

Delisting wolves is the wrong move at the wrong time. We’ve already seen a wave
of violence as some anti-wolf states have allowed even more barbaric methods to
trap, shoot and kill gray wolves – and things could get a lot worse for these
wolves without our help.

We’ll never stop fighting against anti-wolf extremists and politicians working
to turn back the clock on wolf recovery. Today’s setback isn’t the end of the
gray wolf story.

If you agree, please consider pitching in to keep up efforts to save these
wolves and protect them across their historic habitat.
