We thought gray wolves were recovering after receiving protections in Yellowstone. But a trophy hunter rampage violently wiped out 25 wolves just last year. That’s an entire pack. Now, only 89 gray wolves remain in Yellowstone. And the second a wolf sets its little paws over park lines, it’s fair game for brutal hunters to massacre them. [Don’t let another wolf meet the same fate. Help protect the remaining Yellowstone wolves and the planet: donate $27 and help us reach our $60,00 goal before National Public Lands Day ends at midnight tonight!]( The Northern Rockies states bordering Yellowstone National Park have limited safeguards to keep gray wolves safe. Trophy hunters are targeting and gunning down these helpless creatures. What’s worse -- they use the most brutal methods imaginable. Choking wolves to death with neck snares. Chasing them down with helicopters. Even dynamiting nursing wolf mamas and their baby pups inside their dens. And it’s all completely legal. All the while, hunters and Big Polluters are fighting against protections for wolves. Why? So they can keep killing for “fun” and take over the land for mining and logging. This system is broken, Friend. But it’s not too late to fix it. Thanks to members like you, we still have the chance to make real change happen. Today is National Public Lands Day, and there’s never been a better time to act! We’ve set an ambitious $60,000 goal to fight for wolves and our planet before the loss is too great. Will you join us today? These inhumane hunting practices can’t continue. Help protect wolves and the planet and donate $27 before National Public Lands Day ends at midnight tonight!

Hundreds of wolves were murdered in a matter of days! Colorado conservationists are working against the odds to protect wolves and the forests they call home. But Colorado’s wolves aren’t bound by state lines. They can legally be tortured and killed as soon as they leave the state. Not to mention, trophy hunters and Big Oil lobbies are actively pushing against protections for these precious creatures. Their hope is to kill them for sport and invade their habitats. Big Polluters want to open up wolf habitat for mining and logging. All of this blood and destruction -- just for the sake of corporate greed. These actions have contributed to the gutting of the Endangered Species Act and protections for wolves, bears, and other vulnerable species. Now, only 6,000 wolves remain in the lower 48 states. The time to act is now, while there are still wolves left to save! Help stop the slaughter before wolves are lost forever.

They help keep elk and deer populations in check, allowing other plant and animal species to thrive. What’s more, the remains of their kills redistribute nutrients and feed scavengers. They truly are a keystone species! That’s why each death of this iconic species is a big deal. Since a recent rule rolled back federal protections for gray wolves, the trophy hunting lobby has pushed for even more cruel and inhumane laws throughout wolves’ natural habitats. And even worse, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service could reinstate federal protections for these creatures -- but has still failed to do so! We can’t stand aside while our wolves are under attack. If even young pups aren’t safe from brutal hunters, this majestic species won’t stand a chance. Friends of the Earth is fighting back to end the bloody violence against our last surviving wolf packs. That means we’re fighting with everything we have to protect the Endangered Species Act. These protections blocked greedy fossil fuel companies from exploiting the land they call home for profit. But it’s at risk to be opened up to fracking, drilling, and mining that create pollution and harm wildlife and nearby communities, too. But we’re up against the powerful hunting lobby and their big industry allies, and we urgently need the help of activists like you to make sure we hit our crucial $60,000 National Public Lands Day goal. Please, Friend: if just 12 more generous supporters from your area make a $27 membership gift, we can reach our goal and help save wolves and the planet before time is up. Will you make your membership contribution in honor of National Public Lands Day before this opportunity expires? Protect the remaining wolves and our planet from greedy private interests.
