Dear NRDC Activist,

When gray wolves were prematurely stripped of their federal protections
last year, an epidemic of cruelty and senseless killing was catalyzed
across the country. After decades of investments and slow progress toward
recovery, gray wolves are now facing brutal and archaic attacks that once
again threaten their future.

In the Northern Rockies states, new rules allow hunters to slaughter wolf
pups in their dens, to catch and kill wolves using strangulating neck
snares, and to bait Yellowstone wolves out of the national park in order
to trap and shoot them — and individuals can be awarded bounty payments
for each dead wolf. NRDC is working to put a stop to this, including by
calling on Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to enact emergency federal
protections for Northern Rockies wolves before it's too late.

But across most of the country, the Trump administration's decision to
delist gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act (ESA) has paved the way
for states to bring back aggressive wolf killing policies that harken back
to the wolf extermination campaigns of the early 1900s.

That's why NRDC is fighting in court and advocating to bring back the
safeguards that once saved the gray wolf from going extinct altogether —
and we urgently need your help.

you donate just $5 to help
protect gray wolves and other imperiled wildlife? For the next 72 hours,
your gift will be triple matched — and have THREE TIMES the impact — up to
$50,000!

Some states are actively working to prevent the presence of wolves within
their borders by vilifying wolves and hunting them down as disposable
vermin.

Earlier this year, it only took Wisconsin hunters three days to wipe out
at least 20 percent of the state's wolf population — during which even
pregnant wolves were run down with packs of dogs and guns. Now, the state
is planning for yet another aggressive hunt to begin this November.

This is a critical moment to stand up for wolves nationally and defend a
future where they can thrive. With your support, we will stand up for
science-based wolf management in court and the halls of government and
force the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to restore ESA protections to the
gray wolf. Will you help?

[ [link removed] ]Thanks to a limited 72-hour TRIPLE MATCH, your donation will go three
times as far to help us win court battles and advocate for gray wolves and
other keystone species and defend our environment on all fronts. Pitch in
just $5 or more now!

The devastation to wolf populations across the country will have ripple
effects on our ecosystems long into the future — and this comes at a time
when biodiversity and the climate are already in crisis.

Wolves are an environmental ally, not an enemy. This is something many
Indigenous people of North America have known since time immemorial. More
than 120 Tribes and Tribal leaders have collectively called on the federal
government to restore protections for the gray wolf.

It's time we unite to speak up on behalf of the gray wolf. [ [link removed] ]With your
generous support, we can give this iconic animal the protection it
deserves.
