Hello wolf advocates,
So many wolf lawsuits, so little time to keep track of them.
In response to federal delisting and new anti-wolf laws in several states, this year we’ve seen a dizzying flurry of lawsuits and petitions at state and federal levels to relist wolves under the Endangered Species Act and block or restrict state wolf hunts.
On Friday, a federal judge will hear opening oral arguments in a set of three lawsuits against the US government’s ESA delisting in a California court. Check out this great summary of where these and other ongoing lawsuits and actions to protect wolves currently stand.

Action Alert:
After conservation groups filed petitions to relist gray wolves under the ESA this summer, the US Fish & Wildlife Service declined to give emergency protections but announced a 12-month status review of the delisting—meaning that, for a year, wolves will continue to lack protections.
Tell the US FWS’s why the gray wolf should be relisted under ESA! Submit a public comment here.
