The Endangered Species Coalition has worked for years protecting wolves. When Congress took it upon itself to remove wolves from the Endangered Species List last year, we advocated for strong state management plans and then held our breath to see what would happen.
Today, we've got serious problems for wolves across the country.
Just this month, the Alpha female of the renowned Lamar Canyon Pack was shot and killed after slipping out of Yellowstone National Park and into Wyoming—where wolves can be shot on sight in most of the state. 832F, as she was known to the researchers who studied her for years, was the 8th wolf wearing a radio collar to be killed since the hunting season began. That number has now climbed to 10.
When that Wyoming hunter pulled the trigger, he didn't just kill one wolf. He upset the structure of an entire nascent Yellowstone pack. Yellowstone should be a safety zone for wolves. Yet, Wyoming and Idaho even allow the use of recorded sounds of pups in distress to lure wolves out of the sanctuary of the park.
We are energizing wolf supporters like you to advocate for smart decisions and strong protections from wildlife managers entrusted with wolves. A few days ago Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission took an unusual step--closing wolf-hunting and trapping around Yellowstone National Park in Montana. That sent opponents of wolves into an uproar.
We need to fight back and make sure that Montana FWP stands strong, and manages wolves using the best science and ethical standards. With your help, we can get strong protections for Yellowstone wolves.
Help us protect Yellowstone wolves with a donation today. Your online contribution is 100% secure and tax-deductible.
The loss of 832F and the other radio-collared wolves were a setback. With your help, we will push back in 2013 and America's wolves will endure for the benefit of future generations. Thank you for your ongoing support of wolves and other imperiled species.

I live in an area with many wolves, we will hear them, but very seldom see them. I don't see how they are becoming nuisance creatures. After all, it's the humans that have planted themselves in the wolves backyard, not the other way around. In the big picture, we are the nuisance creatures. I say leave all wildlife alone and let the circle of life do what it's meant to do.
It is the big game corporations and big ranchers who see them as enemies because of the lies and negative myths about them.
they are sweet animals who when domesticated are very intelligent an protective/..
That is soooo true, when i was a teen i lived next to an old lady that had one that was half wolf. It took me a year gaining thors trust and after that he was even protective of me wouldn't let anyone near me that he didn't know.
Don't we need wolves to keep nature in check.stop the open season on these beautiful animals.thank you
The wolves serve a very useful purpose other than the people who hunt them remorselessly!
It Natures creations! Just like us , if you can't accept this beautiful wolfes for the next generations just distinguish yourself from their sight.
What about money going to anti poaching methods. Teams on Patrol.It's no good spending money on so called educating, only Fat Cats see this money and poaching carries on.While you do maybe get to educate, the time factor to put this into practice, theirs nothing left to protect. STOP POACHING FIRST.DIAN FOSSEY was RIGHT.
wish I could donate I just can't right now.wolfs are a beautiful animal GOD put them here for a reason we should do are best to keep them here.
These magnificent animals should be protected not killed. why even take them off the endangered list if their just going to keep killing them.
