Hi John,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has given up trying to save gray wolves.
The Endangered Species Act requires a recovery plan for species protected under the Act, but the Service now says wolves don't need one. So today we launched a lawsuit to ensure that gray wolves have a future.
Please make your Giving Tuesday gift now to the Future for the Wild Fund, and it will be matched.
The requirement to develop a national recovery plan for endangered species is critical to a species' survival.
By claiming gray wolves don't need one, the Service is not just violating the Act but paving the way for gray wolves to lose federal protection.
We've been here before; we know what happens next. Wolf hunts will proliferate, and the cruelty shown toward wolves in the northern Rockies will spread nationwide.
But we also know this is a fight we can win, because we've won it before. When gray wolves lost their protection under the first Trump administration, we sued and got their protection restored.
We're ready for that fight again, which is why this morning we let the Service know we'll go to court over its stubborn refusal to help wolves across the lower 48. Today wolves make up only 1% of their historical population.
But wolves are resilient. They can survive, as long as they're protected and given the room to form packs and the safety to thrive.
We fight for wolves and endangered species each and every day. It's at the core of our mission, and we won't stop.
Because threats to wildlife are ongoing, we need you for the long haul. Please start a monthly donation to sustain our defense.
For the wild,
