Issue

Recently, a US Fish & Wildlife Services regulation was overturned that will now allow wolves to be killed at den and rendezvous sites in Alaska National Refuges. Also, in most of Wyoming, wolves can now be shot on sight (they are developing regulations to hunt them in areas bordering Yellowstone & Tetons) Wolves in Montana and Idaho are also hunted.

Response

National Wolfwatcher Coalition advocates for the long term recovery of wolves by informing the public about the challenges to their conservation, supporting measures that promote the acceptance of wolves on the landscape, and educating the public about ways it can participate as an effective voice for scientific decision making in their behalf.
