Although they once roamed across most of North America, Gray Wolves now only occupy about 20% of their historic range! Their survival is vital for healthy ecosystems. Let's rewrite their storyβ€” take action to protect wolves for generations to come at TeamWolf.Org!

The U.S. Department of Interior wants to weaken the Endangered Species Actβ€”making it easier to delist species, shrink habitats, and end the β€œblanket rule” that protects newly listed threatened species.

New Mexico Game & Fish recently relocated a young Mexican Gray Wolfβ€”again. He was moving north without conflict, likely searching for a mate, but officials forced him south, behind an arbitrary I-40 line. Wolves need to roam to recover, not be restricted by political borders.

A new Yellowstone study shows that quaking aspens are finally regenerating & wolves are to thank. Young aspens were found in nearly 1/3 of areas surveyed.

Since wolves return, elk numbers have begun to balance out & vegetation rebounded.
