We’ve won this fight before. In 2003 and 2005, we forced the Bush/Cheney Administration to consider the science and delay delisting of wolves nationwide. I know that -- with your help -- we can win again in the Northern Rockies.

Your contribution will help support…

• Our fight in the courts. Today is one of the first of many court clashes over the elimination of federal protections for wolves. We need your ongoing support to maintain these efforts.
• On-the-ground efforts. Each year, Defenders pays for “range riders”, livestock guarding dogs, education and training, fladry barriers, fencing and other proactive strategies to keep wolves away from livestock -- and both out of harm’s way.      
• Grassroots mobilization. With your help, our staff has testified in defense of wolves at hearings across the region, mobilized hundreds to speak out on Idaho’s proposed wolf hunt and generated headlines in Wyoming for the thousands of Defenders activists who called the governor to urge an end to the state’s shoot-on-sight policy and much, much more.
• Media outreach. Our staff continuously monitors media accounts, rebutting myths and distortions and countering statements by radical wolf opponents like Ron Gillett, who earlier this year said, “You can nuke ‘em, poison ‘em, dynamite -- I don't care. I just want them gone.”

And that’s not all. We’re working with allies on the ground and around the country to support balanced policies that ensure a lasting future for our wolves.
