There is limited time left to speak up for the northern Rocky Mountain wolves! Over 1,000 wolves have been killed in these states since July 1st, 2021. They need your help NOW to get an emergency relisting to the endangered species act. Here’s how:

🐺Click the link in our bio and select “comment for emergency relisting for Rocky Mountain wolves”

🐺Write an original comment sharing why wolves deserve an emergency relisting

🐺The comment can be short! Each pro-relisting comment is counted and makes a difference. Adding more substance is a bonus!

🐺Here is a list of talking points you can use in your own voice:
- 21 Yellowstone wolves, iconic and valuable for research and tourism, have been killed.
- Idaho and Montana are offering bounties to incentivize wolf killings. Idaho increased their bounties up to $2,500 per wolf including newborn pups.
- This is not ethical hunting! These are extermination campaigns.
- No other species that has been restored thanks to the Endangered Species Act have been targeted for an 85-90% reduction in population.
- Wolves are a self regulating species, meaning they control their own population numbers based on what their ecosystem can support. Human regulation of wolf populations is unnecessary and creates undesirable side effects such as disrupted social systems and subsequently increased livestock conflict.

Leaves are great fun to play with, didn’t you know ?

The lake has been frozen solid for a couple weeks, creating new spaces and opportunities for our pack to play! If you haven’t visited Wolf Park during the winter, now is an ideal time to book a program. Our wolves are more active and you might even see Khewa instigating a game of chase with a leaf, as she is prone to do! Book your program at wolfpark.org

Twenty wolves from Yellowstone National Park have been killed after roaming outside the park’s boundaries.

Rather than coexisting with wolves, policymakers in the region have allowed hunting, trapping and bating of this keystone species. The wolves of the Northern Rocky Mountains (Montana, Idaho, Wyoming) need an emergency relisting to the Endangered Species Act and a status review NOW.

The USFWS is accepting public comments. Click the link in our bio to add your voice on why these wolves need an emergency relisting. Your comment can be short and simple, like “wolves need an emergency relisting because they play a critical role in the ecosystem and regulate their own population numbers”. Every voice counts!
