Wildlife Day 2024

You don’t want to miss out on this! 🌿🐾 

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO WILDLIFE DAY

This upcoming event is shaping up to be an incredible opportunity to learn, connect, and take action in the fight for wolves and wildlife and nature’s rights. With recent legislation mandating a wolf hunt in Minnesota, our event has made some adjustments to ensure that participants from both Minnesota and Wisconsin can be involved. If you can, please attend Howling for Wolves Wolf Day at the Minnesota State Capitol to tell your story on what a mandated hunt rally means for wolves, we encourage you to attend. We will be there!

For those unable to attend in person, we will livestream the event for all to enjoy on April 18th from 10A to 2 pm CST, regardless of location. This means that even if you can’t make it to the physical location IN Madison, you can still tune in and be a part of the critical discussions on wildlife rights.

Our lineup of speakers includes experts in the field of conservation, as well as passionate advocates for wildlife protection. From youth leaders like Vir, who has made a significant impact in his community with Wolfwatcher.

To individuals like Fran Santiago-Avila from Project Coyote and Wayne Pacelle from Animal Wellness Action, Wildlife Day promises to be filled with inspiring stories and enlightening discussions. Organizations in attendance include Animal Wellness Action, Friends of the Wisconsin Wolf, Great Lakes Wildlife Alliance, Project Coyote, wolf watcher, and the Ho-Chunk Nation. I will answer questions about all things about rights and advocacy. We will also have local politicians on hand to show you how you can make a difference in your community! 

With the ongoing issue of wolf hunting in states like Wyoming, a national recovery plan, and Endangered Species Day on the horizon, now is the perfect time to find out how you can make a difference locally to protect wolves and wildlife. By joining us for Wildlife Day, you will have the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals, gain valuable insights, and become a part of a network of individuals committed to promoting equity and justice for all beings.

Don’t miss out on this fantastic opportunity to participate in the conversation on wildlife conservation and rights. Mark your calendars for Wildlife Day, and tune in on social media for a day filled with inspiration, education, and action. 

Diane and Hochunk Nation: 

Keynote: Diane Cain and Larry Littlegeorge (Ho-Chunk nation) Rights of Nature: Working to expand to local, state, and federal.

Please note that due to the ongoing campaigning of most legislators, the legislative portion of the event has been rescheduled to fall as the primaries will conclude by September and most are not available for the April event.

For those unable to attend in person, we will livestream the event for all to enjoy on April 18th from 10A to 2 pm CST, regardless of location. This means that even if you can’t make it to the physical location IN Madison, you can still tune in and be a part of the critical discussions on wildlife rights.
