A House subcommittee just held a hearing on a dangerous & misleading bill to delist wolves—it's the same bill we've seen before, just with a new name.
Dr. Peter Kareiva, lead scientist for #TeamWolf, testified against it.

Funny thing about science—it doesn’t care what YOU believe, Rep. Hageman.
Montana Fish Wildlife & Park’s new director says she “doesn’t need science credentials.” Bold move for someone managing wolves, grizzlies & public lands.
Her goal? Use “credibility with the ag community” to open up protected lands. That’s not stewardship. That’s deregulation.
Less than 20 Red Wolves remain in the wild. In 2023, a father wolf that served as a beacon of hope for the species was killed by a car. Despite bipartisan support for wildlife crossings, a Trump funding freeze threatens these efforts.

Studies show that the death of a single wolf from human-related causes is more likely to result in the dissolution of an entire pack. When wolf pack stability is threatened wolves are more likely to go after non-wild prey. Hunting = livestock depredation! #TeamWolf
Republican members of CO's Congressional Delegation are calling to end the state’s wolf reintroduction & arguing to remove Gray Wolves from the ESA.
The lawmakers cite ranchers concerns over livestock predation despite continued resistance to nonlethal conflict reduction.
Wolves remain functionally extinct across 85% of their historic range, with protections under constant threat. In Montana, Idaho, & Wyoming, up to 80% of wolves face slaughter with no federal safeguards.
We must fight for their survival. Take action at TeamWolf.org !

So far, Montana’s hunting season is outpacing last year’s wolf kills by 40%. With 2 months left in this season’s hunt, it is a certainty that wolves will experience more carnage.

Since 2021, over 1,400 wolves have been killed in ID by inhumane methods like trapping, aerial gunning, & running down with snowmobiles. Pups as young as 1 month old have been slaughtered. Expanded laws allow year-round hunting without limits! Read more: bit.ly/40kyV02
This week, @USFWS rejected petitions by hunting groups aimed at delisting wolves in the Great Lakes
& downgrading protections in other states— a clear attempt to remove ESA safeguards for all wolves.
Protections are upheld for now, but kepep taking action at TeamWolf.Org !
30 years ago today, wolves returned to Yellowstone, kickstarting one of the most successful conservation stories in history.
Reintroduced in 1995, wolves restored balance to the Park's ecosystems—curbing overgrazing, revitalizing vegetation, & stabilizing river banks.
As we celebrate 30 years of Yellowstone wolves, we’re reminded they remain under threat from devastating hunts and state-led “management.” (2/2)

In July 2022, journalist Ryan Devereaux published “Rocky Mountain Massacre” in The Intercept, detailing Yellowstone’s deadliest wolf hunt, the last wolf killed in Montana’s 21/22 season, and the ongoing battle for wolf conservation. (1/2)
@USFWS rejected petitions to roll back Endangered Species Act protections for Gray Wolves in the Western Great Lakes (MI, WI, MN) and West Coast (OR, WA, CA).
California’s wolves are making a comeback, and we’re diving into what it means for conservation and our future! Join Aquarium of the Pacific’s live stream tonight starting at 7pm PST here: bit.ly/4gJLNCy
Good news!
RIP Queen 👑
“Yellowstone’s iconic ‘queen of the wolves,’ 907F, has passed away at the remarkable age of 11 after a fight with a rival pack. Known for her resilience & wisdom, she overcame mange, blindness in one eye, & a limp, raising 10 litters in her lifetime. bit.ly/4a23pXI
A study shows human-caused wolf mortality continues even after hunting seasons end further proving that legal killing causes more illegal killing. Read the study at disq.us/t/4hilz2w and join us in protecting wolves at teamwolf.org!
Colorado Parks & Wildlife is committed to improving its wolf reintroduction efforts after criticism of its first phase. Updates include:
🐺 Clearer “chronic depredation” guidelines
🐺 Range riding programs
🐺 Funds for nonlethal efforts

Wolf packs are tightly knit families that rely on teamwork to hunt, protect territory, & raise their young. Each wolf plays a vital role in maintaining pack stability; when a member is killed, it threatens the entire pack. Take action to protect wolves at teamwolf.org!

Wolves play a vital role in keeping ecosystems healthy, yet they’re still being hunted across the Northern Rockies. With a return to policies that delisted wolves looming, we must raise our voices.
