🚨 Wolves still need your voice! Congress is considering bills that could strip protections from gray wolves in 44 states. Losing these safeguards would leave wolves vulnerable to hunting and persecution.

📢 Congress is considering multiple bills that would strip gray wolves and grizzly bears of ESA protections, even though the vast majority of Americans want those protections to remain.
Delisting isn’t recovery, it’s a step backward for their species.

For decades, wildlife policy has defined recovery as survival, keeping species alive, but not truly allowing them to live.
From wolves to grizzlies to bison, we’ve settled for the bare minimum. What if conservation meant more than avoiding extinction?

Wildlife recovery means more than just survival of a species
Current laws that deem species safe from extinction ignore their ecological role, geographic range and genetic diversity, as well as their relationships with people.

Their deaths mark a heartbreaking step backward for wolf recovery in CA, where wolves only returned a little over a decade ago after a century of absence.
