The clock is ticking down
for our nation's wolves. The Obama Administration
has given the public just 90
days to comment on its
disastrous plan to strip
wolves of their vital
Endangered Species Act
protections across most
of the Lower 48 states.
NRDC and other conservation
groups have set an ambitious
goal of generating one million
messages of protest to stop
this far-reaching assault on wolves. You responded to our first call to
action and sent a message to
Interior Secretary Sally Jewell
asking her to maintain essential
federal protections for wolves. Now,
we need you to make your voice
heard once again. Please send a message
directly to the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, which has put
forward this reckless plan. Tell
them to give wolves a fighting
chance at recovery! The return of gray wolves to areas
like the Northern Rockies and the
western Great Lakes has been one
of the greatest conservation success
stories of our time.
But wolves are only starting to
return to large portions of their
former range, like the Pacific
Northwest. Lone wolves have
crossed into California, Utah,
Colorado and states in the Northeast.
Removing federal protections
now would shut the door on
wolf recovery long before the
job is done.
This reckless plan, more the result
of political pressure than sound
science or policy, would throw
national wolf recovery into reverse. In fact, a group of the nation's top
wildlife scientists has sent a letter
to the administration, objecting to
its proposal.
Wolves will not recover unless
they remain protected. That's
why it's so critical that we keep
the pressure on that agency to
withdraw this horrendous plan. Please send your message
to the Fish and Wildlife Service
right now. Call on them to keep
wolves protected under the
Endangered Species Act. We're at a crucial turning point
in this fight -- one that will
determine whether wolves
are allowed to survive and
thrive in America. Thank
you for making your voice
heard in their defense.
Sincerely,
 Frances Beinecke President Natural Resources Defense Council
