Protect wolves and other vulnerable species

As vulnerable endangered species, like gray wolves, continue to face ongoing threats to their survival, Congress is trying to rollback science-backed protections critical to their recovery and we need your help to fight back!

The House passed a series of anti-wildlife bills that now move on to the Senate for a vote. It’s imperative Senators hear from you NOW that you oppose these dangerous policies.

H.R. 764/S. 1895 seeks to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act and prohibit judicial review of the action, one of the main ways we have to fight back against these anti-wildlife attacks. Removing gray wolf protections nationwide would not only jeopardize their recovery and the ecological health of their ecosystems, it would also undermine the ESA’s ability to base listing decisions on scientific evidence and not political interests. As states like Idaho and Montana continue to ramp up their attacks against wolves it is more important now than ever that we keep wolves nationwide protected.

H.R. 615/ S. 1185 and H.R. 3397/S. 1435 would prohibit efforts to ban lead ammo on federal lands and waters and prevent the Bureau of Land Management from recognizing conservation as an essential component of public lands management.

Protecting our nation’s wildlife and wild lands should be based on scientific evidence, not the whims of politicians. These bills would be detrimental to the recovery of many endangered and vulnerable species, like the gray wolf, so we must speak up NOW to stop these dangerous bills in their tracks.

TAKE ACTION

Please make a brief, polite phone call to your two U.S Senators and urge them to vote no on any anti-wildlife bills when they come to the Senate floor for a vote. You can find their contact information here. You can say, "As your constituent, I urge you to vote NO on S. 1895, S. 1185, and S. 1435, or the House-passed versions of these bills, H.R. 764, H.R. 615 and H.R. 3397, which all attempt to undermine wildlife recovery."

After making your phone call (please do not skip that crucial step!), use the form to automatically send a follow-up message. We encourage you to add your own thoughts or comments in the editable portion, so your legislators know how important this issue is to you.

Dear Senator,

As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to vote NO on S. 1895, S. 1185, and S. 1435, or the House-passed versions of these three bills, H.R. 764, H.R. 615 and H.R. 3397.

S. 1895 is seeking to delist the gray wolf from the Endangered Species Act and prohibit judicial review of the action. As the gray wolf continues to face ongoing threats such as loss of habitat, persecution, and other human-caused factors, rolling back ESA protections could be detrimental to their recovery and the ecological health of their ecosystems. Furthermore, legislating ESA decisions undermines the law itself, which rests authority in federal agencies.

I also urge you to vote NO on S. 1185 and S. 1435, which would prohibit efforts to ban lead ammo on federal lands and waters and prevent the Bureau of Land Management from recognizing conservation as an essential component of public lands management, respectively. Lead is a highly toxic substance, commonly used on federal lands and waters through ammunition and fishing tackle, that has adverse effects on both wildlife and communities nationwide. Meanwhile, it is critical that federal agencies like BLM continue to use federal rulemaking aimed at achieving ecosystem resilience that benefits wildlife and communities alike.

Please protect the important work of the ESA and science-backed federal rulemaking by voting NO on S. 1895, S. 1185, and S. 1435 or their House-passed versions, and any additional bills that attempt to weaken it.
