Wolves Need Your Voice This Earth Day

Comment on the Delisting Proposal and Let U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Know You Want to Keep Wolves Protected

Dear Guardian,

A few weeks ago, the Trump administration announced that it wants to remove protection for grey wolves in the lower 48. Wolves are important apex carnivores that shape entire ecosystems. If you haven’t done so already, this Earth Day would be a great day to show your support for some of the Earth’s most persecuted residents by writing a comment on the proposal to remove wolves from the list of threatened and endangered species. Please note that if you have already submitted comments, you do not need to do so again.
