Happy Mother’s Day from our pack to yours πŸ’•
TODAY IS THE DAY! Join our phone jam to tie up Secretary Haaland and President Biden's phone lines all day long with calls about wolves urging them to stand up for what’s right, listen to the American public, and relist wolves as an endangered species.

Wolves are a family-oriented species. Their pack is their family. And when hunters and poachers kill a key member of their family, it destabilizes the entire pack. Wolves are a keystone species meaning they are vital to maintaining healthy ecosystems. This Earth Day, help us keep wolves safe in Wisconsin and the Great Lakes region.
Dear Advocates, we have already accomplished so much in 2022…staying informed, sending in resolutions to the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, and meeting with state and federal lawmakers. We have protected most of the wolves in our country and helped wildlife in peril just not in our backyards but nationally as well.
Wolves once roamed the western part of the continent from the Arctic to Mexico, but they were hunted to eradication from the 1870s onward. More than any other predator, wolves were seen as a symbol of the untamed wild in the West, and the antithesis of civilization: a danger to humans, a menace to ranchers, and competition for big-game hunters. That narrative persists, although wolves very rarely attack people, kill only 0.04 percent of livestock and serve as an #apexpredator which is essential to maintaining the delicate balance of the entire ecosystem.
The restoration of Endangered Species Act protections for wolves was a ray of hope for all those working so hard for them in Michigan. The majority who value wolves can take some comfort in the fact that these highly social and intelligent animals are, for now, safe from hunters and trappers.
In 77% of the cases where a wolf pack is dissolved, the dissolution was preceded by the death of a breeder wolf. A pack was more likely to dissolve if the alpha female (mother) died or if the death occurred just before or during breeding season. Wolves of dissolved packs often struggle to find new packs and put them at higher risk of death.
