Click to Protect Threatened Wolves

about gray wolves

Wolves were once common throughout all of North America but were killed in most areas of the United States by the mid 1930s. Wolves are listed as endangered under the Endangered Species Act throughout much of the United States. The most common cause of death for wolves is conflict with people over livestock losses.

about Defenders of Wildlife

Defenders of Wildlife works to protect and restore America's native wildlife, safeguard habitat, resolve conflicts, work across international borders and educate and mobilize the public. Defenders of Wildlife has been a leader in wolf conservation since wolves first appeared on the federal endangered species list. Defenders played a crucial role in the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park and central Idaho in 1995.

how your click helps wolves

Your daily click generates donations from advertising sponsorships. Care2 sends these donations to Defenders of Wildlife. Defenders of Wildlife uses these donations to protect wolves around the United States and the world. In the past year, supporters like you have helped Defenders:

• organize supporters to generate nearly half of all of the public comments opposing the latest attempt to delist wolves in the northern Rockies.
• successfully stop the Bush administration from prematurely delisting wolves in 2008. Unfortunately, Secretary Ken Salazar approved that delisting plan in April 2009, again forcing Defenders back into court to fight this plan.
• work on the ground with ranchers to implement proven strategies to keep wolves away from livestock and away from harm. When there is conflict, Defenders staff will step in to negotiate, recently saving the lives of an entire pack.
