Urge Western Governors to Prevent Wholesale Wolf Slaughter

The fate of our wolves now rest in the hands of state officials. And while states like Oregon and Washington are adopting progressive plans to welcome wolves into their states, the legislatures and some governors and officials in Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and Utah are taking a more extreme approach to wolf management.



As bad as things are, the situation could get worse. Some extremists are pushing for the elimination of all wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies.



Take action now. Urge Western governors to adopt sound, sensible wolf management plans that ensure a lasting future for our wolves.

Good News For Yellowstone Bison

This is great news for the yellowstone bison. Even more so, a very happy and victorious announcement for all those who stood up for this cause and signed up the petition. Some 45,980 people signed up the petition that led us to this amazing victory.

Earlier this month, officials in Montana finalized a deal that will give bison 75,000 acres to roam free. This is a great victory for some of America's last truly wild bison, including the approximately 600 who are currently being held in federal corrals due to exaggerated fears that they might spread disease to cattle. Now, bison who wander outside of Yellowstone National Park in the winter months will have a better chance of survival.

In the past, bison who have left the park in search of food were often captured and sent to slaughterhouses, or shot on the spot. This new agreement offers wandering bison better protection; it also allocates funding for bison reintroduction to tribal lands and coexistence projects with private landowners in the area.
