Tell Governors Now's the Time to Protect Wolves, Center for Biological Diversity


Dear Governors,

We, the undersigned, are deeply concerned about the fate of wolves in your state following the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's removal of federal wolf protections across the country. We urge you to do everything you can to protect wolves, including ensuring that they're not subject to state-sanctioned hunting and trapping seasons or laws that allow them to be simply shot on sight.

“Wolves are only recovered in 15% of their range at best,” stated Camilla Fox, Founder and Executive Director of Project Coyote. “Only anti-wolf bias, and certainly not credible science, would conclude that 15% constitutes a significant portion of wolves’ historic range. This completely contravenes the notion of evidence-based policy or science-based wolf recovery.”
