🚨BREAKING: Wolves in the Northern Rockies just got a shot at protection.

A federal judge ruled @‌USFWS broke the law when it denied ESA protections—ignoring science & skyrocketing wolf kills.

This could clear the way to #RelistWolves! Read: bit.ly/3UfiGgM

🐺 The countdown to #HOWLFEST2025 is on! 🐺

Join us Wednesday, Aug 13 as we celebrate wolves with craft beer, community & conservation in DC, LA, SF & Seattle.

Free merch, howl-off contests, and good vibes guaranteed.

Made my comments. The persecution of wolves is unrelenting.

🚨Reminder: MT is proposing wolf hunting regulations that could allow up to 500 wolves to be killed in one season.
Hunters could take 30 wolves each. This plan ignores science, ethics, and the ecological value of wolves.
Public comments are open through today. Speak up now: fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/com...

📞 Call Gov. Polis: (303) 866-2885
Urge him to pause the killing of a Copper Creek wolf until a full investigation is done. This isn’t what voters wanted. Demand accountability, transparency, and real wolf protection.

Trump Administration to End Protections for 58 Million Acres of National Forests Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins said the Clinton-era rule barring road construction and logging was outdated and “absurd.”

The Trump administration moved to roll back the 2001 Roadless Rule, opening 58M acres of protected forest—including Alaska’s Tongass—to logging, roads, and development. The change threatens critical habitat for species like the rare Alexander Archipelago wolf.

Today we dropped a map showing what’s at risk under the Senate’s land sell-off bill. 3.18 million acres of public lands are on the chopping block.

Wildlife habitat. Trailheads. Cultural sites. Gone. Montana’s exempt. The rest of the West? Up for grabs.

Extremely disappointing. This inhumane practice should never have been made legal.

Fantastic news!

Montana’s 2025 legislative session has ended with HB 258 defeated, but anti-wolf bills HB 259 and HB 554 still sit on Governor Gianforte’s desk—your calls and emails urging a veto are more crucial than ever.

Government Kills Another Endangered Mexican Wolf at the Behest of the Livestock Industry - Western Watersheds Project For immediate release April 28, 2025 Media contacts: Chris Smith, WildEarth Guardians (505) 395-6177; csmith@wildearthguardians.org Greta Anderson, Western Watersheds Project (520)623-1878; greta@west...

ANOTHER endangered Mexican wolf is dead to support the public lands livestock grazing industry, where a handful of ranchers get a sweetheart deal and heavy subsidies to degrade our national forests for private profit.

We Built a Public Tracker for Threatened Public Lands. It’s Live. We made this ourselves. Now we need your help to make it better.

>> The idea is simple - show where public lands are under threat and explain what’s happening. Logging. Mining. Drilling. Development. Who’s behind it. What agency approved it. What can still be done <<

Called and emailed the governor for what it's worth.

This is extremely important. The governor of MT has one opportunity to prevent yearlong wolf hunting without government oversight. If this bill is passed, there will be nothing short of a wolf massacre.

I’ll never understand how some people get a kick out of shooting these incredible animals for sport. Baffling, twisted, and sad.

This week, Montana’s dangerous wolf-killing bill (HB 554) passed the Senate & heads to Gov. Gianforte. If signed, it means year-round slaughter—pregnant wolves & puppies included.

📞Call 406-444-3111 or email governor@mt.gov. Demand a veto NOW. #StopHB554 #TeamWolf

Good! Both HB-258 and HB-176, have been killed. Now to persuade the governor to reject HB-259 (which allows thermal scopes, and contravenes 'fair chase').

Misleadingly Named ‘Pet and Livestock Protection Act’ Ignores Science, Subverts Courts The House of Representatives Committee on Natural Resources on Wednesday is expected to take up the misleadingly named “Pet and Livestock Protection Act” which if enacted would delist gray wolves in t...

The so-called “Pet & Livestock Protection Act” is nothing more than underhanded attempt to delist gray wolves in the lower 48 states that eliminates the ability to challenge the delisting, ignoring both science and the courts.

We denounce this bill in the strongest terms possible.

Opinion | Grizzlies pose minimal threat to Wyoming cattle Non-predator causes such as disease and weather are still the main issues plaguing Wyoming cattle, guest columnist Dagny Signorelli writes.

Since ranchers are benefitting from such massive discounts when renting public lands for livestock grazing, they should accept a few cattle losses to the native wildlife as the cost of doing business. wyofile.com/grizzlies-po...

What are the chances these bills will be defeated in the house? Also, will the governor sign bills that his own FWP oppose??

Don't forget, ranchers are HEAVILY subsidized as well. In Montana, they pay ~$1.35 per animal unit to graze on public lands. If taxpayers are subsidizing them, at least respect the land that belongs to taxpayers.

Thing is, ranchers use losses resulting from wolf predation to justify killing wolves in large numbers. Conservationists including myself say that BECAUSE ranchers are compensated, there is no reason to kill wolves. I'm wondering if continuing to pay them will help stop wolves being massacred. 🤔
