Protect wolves in the Northern Rockies

U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar's decision to carry out the Bush-era plan to strip Northern Rockies wolves of crucial Endangered Species Act protections is a massive mistake. Idaho and Montana are now preparing massive wolf eradication plans, and more than a thousand wolves could be killed. Help Defenders of Wildlife overturn Secretary Salazar's deadly decision and save Western wolves before it's too late!

Defenders works with livestock owners to develop non-lethal methods to reduce the chances of a wolf attacking livestock.

1. Northern Rockies wolves should remain on the Endangered Species List until plans are in place to ensure their long-term survival in the region.

2. People must be proactive partners in living with wolves.

3. Wolves are a keystone species that brings much-needed balance to Northern Rockies ecosystems.
