Statement: Biden administration acts responsibly by restoring protections for wildlife
"In a series of wrongheaded moves, the previous administration weakened the Endangered Species Act. Now, the Biden administration plans to tear up two of those policies -- both of which made it harder for the Fish and Wildlife Service to protect important habitats for threatened and endangered species."

Gray wolves left vulnerable without endangered species protections
Fewer than 6,000 gray wolves remain in the contiguous United States, but last year the Trump administration stripped the species of its endangered species protections. Now states are free to enact laws that allow the killing of up to 90% of their gray wolf population.
Statement: Trump administration’s decision to strip protections for gray wolves threatens a species numbering only 6,000 in the continental U.S.
“Instead of this wrong-headed move, we need a bold national plan, if not a continental one, to safeguard these wolves. Do we really want to lose the hearty howl of the gray wolf on our watch?"
From buzzing bees to howling wolves, and from ancient forests to sprawling coastlines, our natural world is a gift that keeps on giving. Will you donate today to help keep it that way?
