Victory for Red Wolves
The planet’s 35 remaining red wolves are on safer ground thanks to a federal judge’s ruling.
Victory for Red Wolves
Just last week, a federal judge made an important decision. A rule stopping the Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) from capturing and killing red wolves — or authorizing private landowners to do the same — is now permanent.1
Tens of thousands of you raised your voices earlier this year because you knew that the FWS’ proposed new management plan for North Carolina’s red wolves would drive these vulnerable animals to extinction. Now we can rest assured: the courts agree! The last 35 wild red wolves are safe.
How You Can Help
Will you join us in thanking Chief Judge Terrence W. Boyle for ruling in favor of North Carolina’s wonderful wolves?

Thank you for standing with wolves.
