Dear Guardian,

As the snow melts, flowers start to bloom, and birdsong is in the air in Montana, grizzly bears are finally emerging from their deep winter sleep.

Unfortunately, grizzlies are in the crosshairs as trophy hunters and their political allies in the Trump Administration and Congress try to strip away Endangered Species Act protections. Help us safeguard grizzlies as they emerge from their winter slumber.

Never before have grizzly bears faced such threats from political meddling. Congress wants to gut the Endangered Species Act and Montana’s Senator Jon Tester is being pressured to ignore federal law and science and strip Montana’s grizzlies of the protections they so desperately need.

Be a voice for grizzly bears and tell Montana’s Senator Tester to let science and species conservation come first.

As a representative for one of our nation’s last truly wild places—a place where grizzlies still roam free, wolverines traverse high mountain peaks, and Canada lynx glide through boreal forests––Senator Tester could be a champion for our nation’s natural wonders. Tell Senator Tester to stand up against attacks on our country’s rarest wildlife and last remaining wild places.

Grizzly bears and the wild landscapes they need to thrive are icons of the American West. Be a voice for their future and tell Senator Tester to respect the rule of law, the role of science and the spirit of the great bear.

For the wild,
