Dear Guardian, Black Wolf pc Oregon Dept Fish and Wildlife

Speak out against efforts to strip protections from Oregon wolves.

As a fifth generation Oregonian, it is important to me that wolves be welcomed home to their historic habitats across the state. Wolf recovery is just beginning to take hold, with wolves like the famous OR-7 known as Journey dispersing from northeastern Oregon to my childhood stomping grounds in the Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest.

Journey and his partner and pups now form the first wolf pack in southern Oregon in over eighty years, aptly dubbed the “Rogue pack.” Please join me in taking action today to ensure Oregon’s wolves have a future.

Wolves in Oregon pc OR Dept FWFor the most part, Oregon is a leader in wolf recovery, conflict prevention, and conservation. Most Americans value native wildlife and see the return of wolves to Oregon as a conservation success story.

But wolves have enemies in Oregon, just like they do across the country, and that faction is trying to remove state legal protections that wolves need to survive.

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Commission is considering whether to strip wolves of state Endangered Species Act protections. Doing so would leave wolves vulnerable to hunting and poisoning.

We can’t let a vocal minority, fueled by misinformation and fear turn back the clock on wolf conservation. Please act today to keep Oregon’s wolves protected.

Wolves are just beginning to retake their rightful place in the wilds of Oregon, with only 77 wolves roaming the state. Oregon’s wolves are a long way from meaningful recovery, and they still need protections.

Tell state decision-makers you value wolves and other native wildlife, and want to see wolves protected. With your support, wolves will continue to reclaim their native landscape, creating a more wild and beautiful Oregon.
