Hi John,

Grizzlies seek out higher mountain forests to live in. The dense cover provides gives them shelter during the day, and solitude for their hibernation.

But logging and livestock grazing near Yellowstone National Park could destroy their forest habitat, leaving them and other wild creatures scrambling for a place to live.

We're fighting to stop it. Please help with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.

The Custer Gallatin National Forest in Montana sits just outside Yellowstone. More than 5,000 acres of pine forests could be clearcut, and thousands more could be logged to remove commercially valuable trees — a huge subsidy to industry.

Destroying this forest — home to grizzlies, lynx and other threatened species — would put bears at greater risk and increase the threat of illegal poaching.

This plan comes on the heels of another decision by the U.S. Forest Service to turn areas north of Yellowstone over to industry to graze cattle.

More livestock grazing and poaching will only harm animals who are already fighting for survival.

The Forest Service exists to protect forests and their wildlife.

In no way should it permit the mutilation of natural systems that sustain life, from grizzly and black bears to lynx, elk, bighorn sheep, pronghorns, wolverines, and gray wolves. Selling out wildlife for the sake of industry must end.

We're in court to stop the expansion of livestock grazing on the east side of Montana's Paradise Valley. We'll do all we can to keep wildlife there safe.

As the extinction crisis grows more and more dire, the unbearable cost of business as usual is clear.

To stop it, we must give wildlife a chance to live in peace.

Please give now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund so we can protect grizzlies, lynx and other species.
