Good News - Alaskan Wolves Saved

There is finally good news on the Alaskan wolves for which we were sharing petitions again and again. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service won't be targeting the wolves on Unimak Island for good.

Animal lovers from all over the world were worried that the wolves could have faced death this spring. Fortunately officials decided to side up with science rather than go for unjustified wolf culling.

More than 65,000 people signed up the petition to save the wolves from culling in Alaska through Defenders Of Wildlife. If you supported this cause, this is a moment of happiness and success. It is a sign for all of us, that hard work, dedication and focus does reap positive results. And these petitions that we sign are quite important and can actually help change big decisions.

You can send a thank you note to the concerned authorities for taking this action.

Please show your appreciation and write to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to thank them for this key science-based win for wolves.

Protect Endangered Elephants in the Cardamom Mountain Rainforest

More than 100 endangered Asian elephants -- the largest population in Cambodia -- depend on the elephant corridor in the Cardamom Mountain rainforest. 

But the elephants could lose this critical habitat if Cambodia approves a permit for a new titanium mine in a meeting this Friday!(11th Feb) We have to tell the Combodian Minister of Commerce to protect the country's wildlife. 

It's not just elephants: The Cardamoms are home to sun bears, Siamese crocodiles and more than half of Cambodia's bird population. Moreover, the Cardamom Mountains are one of the last intact rainforests in Southeast Asia. It is a model for conservation and have a burgeoning eco-tourism industry that helps locals make a living without destroying the land. 

Please take action and sign up the following petition:

Help Save The Mexican Gray Wolves

Only 42 ...and read 42 only is the number of Mexican gray wolves that are left in the wild now in the entire world. This is a really bad news. Not shocking with the way we are going killing animals. But definitely sad.

These wolves – found in the wild only in Arizona and New Mexico – face plenty of threats, including illegal killing by anti-wolf extremists. But now a Montana Congressman is taking aim at the life-saving protections these and other rare and beautiful animals need to survive.

Rehberg’s two bills would eliminate Endangered Species Act protections for every single wolf in the Southwest, Midwest and Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.

The result? A no-holds-barred approach to wolf killing that would end efforts to stop wolf killings in the Southwest and could see Idaho lawmakers make good on their promise to “remove wolves by whatever means necessary.”

If passed, this legislation would also be the first ever to exempt a single species from the Endangered Species Act – setting a dangerous precedent for removing protections for other imperiled wildlife.

Make no mistake: These bills are bad for wolves, bad for the Endangered Species Act, and bad for the future of all America’s wildlife.

Let's stand up for this meaningful cause and Take Action. Send the following letters to make sure this does not happen.

SAVE OUR WOLVES.

Stop The Use Of Deadly Wildlife Poisons

After traveling more than 1,000 miles from her Montana home, a female wolf from the Mill Creek pack (known as 314F), met a horrific fate in Colorado -- illegally poisoned by the deadly Compound 1080.

Plagued with convulsions, dizziness and unbearable pain, her journey ended in a terrible death on a lonely Colorado road.

But sadly, she is not alone. Compound 1080 -- one of the most lethal toxins known to humankind -- and sodium cyanide collectively kill thousands of coyotes every year. And often, these deadly poisons don't reach their intended targets, killing imperiled wildlife -- and even domestic dogs -- instead. Compound 1080 -- so dangerous, it is classified as a chemical weapon in several countries.

EPA is deciding whether to allow the continued use of these deadly chemicals to kill wildlife.

Take action now! Urge the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use of Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide to prevent the poisoning of wildlife struggling to survive.

Act now! Urge federal officials to ban the use of Compound 1080 and sodium cyanide to kill wildlife -- and prevent the poisoning of animals struggling to survive.

Save Polar Bears From Sarah Palin

Scientists say global warming has made the polar bear highly endangered. But Sarah Palin is fighting efforts to protect the polar bear, allowing them to be killed for body parts... for trophies. Do we really want another Vice President with these values?"

Sarah Palin says, as Defenders of Wildlife prove, "Protecting polar bears gets in way of drilling for oil."

Polar bears, in the next 50 years, could possibly face extinction if actions aren't taken to save them. These creatures are the largest predators on earth-- even larger then a grizzly bear, but they're facing problems even larger then they're sizes could ever reach.

Global warming, caused from drilling of our ancient Antarctic snow and ice and also world-wide pollution, is melting the lands of the polar bear. Because of that, polar bears are drowning out at sea before reaching shore, and some are even committing cannibalism as their food supplies disappear. But along with that large issue to the polar bears, Sarah Palin is also shooting them down, hunting and poaching. Sarah Palin is also agreeing with drilling of the ice and sea for human's misguided reasons, and the sound, and pollution is also causing polar bears to die.

Polar bears are great trophies, rugs and prizes to hunters of the arctic, but the United States is trying to ban that horrible fact while the rich Safari Club International is in court seeking to allow its wealthy hunters to kill polar bears again. Along with it, Sarah Palin is selling polar bear body parts as prizes... or trophies.

Please take part in saving these polar bears who are dying, along with our arctic regions.
