You have four new opportunities to come stand for wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
plans to abandon gray wolf recovery and continue a deeply flawed Mexican wolf
recovery effort. The Service needs
to hear from you in person in Denver, CO, Albuquerque, NM, Sacramento, CA and
Pinetop, AZ.
Will you join us and be a voice for wolves?
Removing Endangered Species Act protections for all gray wolves will unravel 35 years of efforts to bring these amazing animals back from the
brink and put wolves at the mercy of hunters’ guns and traps.
Wolves
remain absent from huge swaths of their historic range, including all of
Colorado and Utah. Watch our short
film to learn more about why gray wolves are so important for healthy
ecosystems, and then come speak for wolves.
The magnificent Mexican wolf could face extinction if their
population and home range are not allowed to expand substantially. The Service
wants to contain Mexican wolves to only a portion of southern Arizona and New
Mexico, where only 75 wolves roam.
To thrive, Mexican wolves need the wild habitats of the Grand Canyon,
the forests and canyons of northern Arizona and southern Utah, and the rich
environs of northern New Mexico and Southern Colorado. Mexican wolves need your
voice.
Stay tuned for more details on pre-hearing events hosted by
WildEarth Guardians and our conservation allies. We’ll provide helpful materials and tips on giving testimony.

job of wolf recovery is not done, not when wolves have only returned to 5% of
their historic habitat.
