Lobo "Recovery" Plan Puts Politics Before Science, Speak out!

Despite recommendations of scientists, the new draft recovery plan (more of a recovery sham) for Mexican gray wolves unnaturally limits the population size and range of this subspecies in the Southwest. We need your help to speak up for wolves!

Instead of moving forward with a draft plan based on science-based recommendations, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has allowed the recovery planning process to be delayed and subverted due to political pressures from Arizona and the other three states important to Mexican wolf recovery. These pressures have focused on keeping wolves south of Interstate 40 and limited in population size to a number far below scientific recommendations.

Please participate in one of the following meetings to speak up on this important issue. To review and comment on the draft revised recovery plan and related documents, visit www.regulations.gov and enter the docket number FWS-R2-ES-2017-0036 in the search bar.
