Gray wolves are one of North America’s most important apex predators, helping maintain healthy ecosystems and biodiversity.

The Endangered Species Act helped bring gray wolves back from near-extinction, but recovery is not complete. Many wolf populations remain vulnerable and continue to face threats from hunting, trapping, and habitat loss.

The proposed rider in the FY27 Interior funding bill would strip federal protections from gray wolves and block judicial review, preventing courts from reviewing the decision.

Wildlife policy should be guided by science, not politics. By speaking out now, you can help protect wolves, defend the Endangered Species Act, and preserve decades of conservation progress.
