Rocky Mountain Wolves Need You Now

This is a pivotal moment for reinstating Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for gray wolves in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, where they’ve been stripped for years, resulting in an all-out assault on wolves across those regions. Especially since 2021, when emboldened politicians in Montana and Idaho passed a slew of controversial laws and regulations. All of these aimed to decrease the wolf population with longer hunting seasons, higher limits, and year-round trapping seasons. In Montana alone, hunters responded during the 2021-2022 season by killing 273 wolves, including Yellowstone wolves, considered the "most-viewed" wolves worldwide.

Montana and Idaho's newly enacted policies were not going unnoticed by wildlife advocates nationwide, and after two petitions were filed to list these wolves, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service responded. In September 2021, the federal agency acknowledged these wolves' grave challenges and initiated a 12-month status review of wolves in the western United States, stating that “a listing action may be warranted."

Although it's been over a year, USFWS has maintained radio silence. Now is the time for that silence to end. Join us in calling for the Biden administration to enact an emergency listing of wolves in the Northern Rockies. Wolf recovery requires us to develop a healthy relationship with wolves and each other. We must recognize the ecological importance of wolves, advance non-lethal measures to help foster coexistence with them, and refrain from unjustified persecution.

Urge the Biden administration to immediately issue emergency relisting protections for wolves in the western United States.
