The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is America's bedrock conservation law. But this invaluable act could be weakened if we let anti-wolf legislation remove Northern Rockies gray wolves from the ESA.
Never before has Congress targeted one specific species for removal from the ESA in such a reckless manner.
Excluding gray wolves from these protections would threaten the foundation of the ESA and mean death for hundreds of wolves. Northern Rockies wolves be beyond the reach of ESA protections forever and we would have no ability to petition for these protections in the future, no matter how threatened wolves become. Only the Interior Secretary, at his sole discretion, would have the power to petition for ESA protections for wolves.
Tell Interior Secretary Ken Salazar to keep Northern Rockies wolves under Endangered Species Act protections and guard the strength of the ESA.
