Dear Center Supporter,
Wolves need your help more than ever. Here's the latest:
After protests by the Center for Biological Diversity and others, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has just suspended the independent scientific review of the wolf delisting proposal in order to deal with criticisms that top wolf scientists had been excluded.
It's an important victory but we still have a long fight ahead of us.
Now more than ever we know that politics, not science, is driving this proposal to strip Endangered Species Act protections from wolves. Last week, three scientists were cut out of the review process because they'd signed a letter raising serious questions about the delisting proposal.
It seems obvious that this latest ploy was an attempt to keep dissenting opinions out of the scientific peer review mandated by the Endangered Species Act. It failed, thankfully, after Center and other wolf supporters turned up the heat.
Please join the fight, as wolves, the law designed to protect them, and the scientists who know them the best are all under assault.
With your help, the Center will fight the government's attempt to control the scientific debate. For now they've backtracked but clearly they'll try anything to push through their horrific plan to strip federal protection from gray wolves.
If this plan moves ahead, it will abandon 40 years of wolf recovery work and close the door on any chance that wolves will return to places like Colorado, the Northeast and California. And, tragically, it will mean that more wolves will be hunted, trapped and killed.
This is a critical moment – we can't let this dangerous plan move ahead.
The federal government needs to get the message that special interests don't get to have their way. We will not permit them to twist the scientific process to get the desired political result of no more protections for wolves.
Your gift to the Center's Wolf Defense Fund will help stop this misguided wolf plan and ensure that the people's voice is heard.
Now's the time to make a difference for wolves. We can't do it without your help, so help us spread the word.
For the wolves,  |  | Kierán Suckling
