Hi John,
Three young, black wolves were found dead last October mere miles beyond the Colorado border. They were believed to be from the North Park pack and the first wolves born in Colorado in more than 100 years.
Although they're protected in Colorado, wolves are at immediate risk of being trapped or shot by hunters as soon as they cross into Wyoming. So we just took legal action to save Colorado's wolves from this threat.
Please help us fight for wolves with a gift now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.

Thanks to previous Center litigation that restored federal wolf protection across most of the United States, killing a wolf in Colorado can bring a $100,000 fine and a year in prison.
Up to 50 wolves will be reintroduced in Colorado over the next few years. They will join the North Park pack in creating new hope for wolves in the state.
Many of them will likely live in the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, which straddles the border of Wyoming and Colorado.
This remote forest is the perfect home for them — except on the Wyoming side, which is declared a "predator zone" where they can be shot and trapped year-round.
It's unfair and unethical to allow wolf-killing when these far-ranging creatures cross invisible lines.
That's why we launched our latest legal effort today against the U.S. Forest Service.
The Endangered Species Act requires federal agencies to protect threatened and endangered species.
The Forest Service also has the authority — and duty — to manage wildlife in national forests and protect wolves from being shot when they follow their natural instincts to move through the wild.
Time and again we've gone to court to defend wolves. And we'll keep doing it.
Our mission is to safeguard biodiversity and species great and small, wherever they're in danger — and there's no justice for wolves if they can be killed for stepping over a line they can't see.
Please support our work by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund today.
