John,

Red wolves are on the doorstep of extinction.

Just 14 remain in the wild, all of them cornered into a small pocket of North Carolina. They can't recover unless more wolves are reintroduced soon.

Please let the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service know that red wolves urgently need a recovery plan that will prevent them from disappearing forever.

In response to our 2016 legal petition, the Service committed to redoing a badly outdated red wolf recovery plan by the end of last year. But still no sign — so last week we sued to get them to take action.

Once common throughout the southeastern United States, red wolves have been reduced to a single wild population in eastern North Carolina. With your help, we can turn that around.

Last month we released a report identifying five potential reintroduction sites that could support nearly 500 breeding pairs of red wolves on public lands in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. These wolves can survive in the wild if we give them a chance.

Act now to insist that the feds update the old plan and help red wolves recover.
