WildEarth Guardians has sued Wildlife Services, a federal
agency and the Nation's biggest wildlife killer, challenging its antiquated,
inhumane, and damaging programs nationwide. At the same time, The Sacramento Bee has published a landmark
exposé about Wildlife Services, lifting the secretive veil on the agency’s
nefarious activities. Wildlife Services quietly kills more than 5 million
animals every year, and the public pays for it. It’s time to end the war on
wildlife. Take action today.

WildEarth Guardians has sued the U.S. Department of Interior to stop four new coal leases in the Powder River Basin of northeastern Wyoming. They're the biggest coal leases ever approved by the federal government and would open the door for two of the largest coal companies to expand the world's biggest coal mines. The Powder River Basin is a root contributor to global warming in the U.S., but we're leading the charge to change that.

We lost our case to
overturn the Congressional rider that delisted Northern Rockies gray wolves from the Endangered
Species Act, but
this setback has only strengthened our commitment to wolf restoration. We will
continue to fight for wolf protections in Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico and
to educate the public, decision makers, and the news media that wolves are not
ravenous killers of livestock and elk, but a critical component of the western
landscape that deserve our respect and support.

In 2011, New Mexicans generated over 12,000
comments to the Department of Game and Fish that requested a trap ban on
public
lands. Yet, the New Mexico Game Commission ignored this appeal. On July
21 it expanded trapping across New Mexico, and
even lifted the trapping closure in the range of the imperiled Mexican
wolf. During April WildEarth Guardians participated in “The
Troubles with Trapping” roadshow in New Mexico to gain further public
support
to get public lands traps legislatively banned.
