NRDC Activist,

Gray wolves once roamed across much of the continental United States. After being nearly wiped out, they began a long and slow recovery thanks to the Endangered Species Act.

But ever since the Trump administration recklessly stripped protections for this iconic species, gray wolves are once again facing vicious eradication — the likes of which we haven't seen since the early 1900s. States are offering increasingly aggressive and unscientific wolf hunts, allowing wolf populations to be decimated using cruel methods like baits, strangulating traps, and even packs of dogs. Not even wolf pups and pregnant females are being spared.

This is not wildlife management — this is senseless killing of a native mammal and a critical keystone species. That's why we're suing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and calling on them to reinstate Endangered Species Act protections for wolves nationally.

Until midnight tonight — donate just $5 and we'll TRIPLE MATCH your gift up to $50,000. That means you'll make THREE TIMES the impact to protect gray wolves and other keystone species — in and out of court.

It's taken nearly 50 years for the gray wolf to recover in a small fraction of the areas where they once roamed. This hard-won progress was one of our country's greatest conservation accomplishments, and a testament to the power of the Endangered Species Act.

But now, fear mongering, misinformation, and political rhetoric threaten to undo that progress.

Your support ensures we not only win this court battle — but that we utilize every tool at our disposal to restore gray wolf populations nationally. That means mobilizing people like you to speak out to government officials, waging hard-hitting public media campaigns, activating social media to increase awareness and appreciation for this irreplaceable species, and conducting high-level policy work to stop governments from targeting the gray wolf.

Please help us make sure we have every resource available at our disposal to protect gray wolves in and out of court.

Save gray wolves and other wildlife from extermination: Make your gift by midnight and it will have THREE TIMES the impact. Even a $5 donation will make a difference.

For the wolves who cannot defend themselves, thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Mitch Bernard
Chief Counsel, NRDC
