"The African leader argued that conservation efforts have led to an explosion in the number of #elephants and that hunting is an important means to keep them in check. Botswana banned trophy hunting in 2014 but lifted the restrictions in 2019 under pressure from local communities. The country now issues annual hunting quotas."
Alaska doesn't deserve the money until it changes its law that requires the slaughter of bears, wolves and other carnivores.
The federal #government shouldn't be in the business of killing top predators for hunters' benefit. Tell the Fish and Wildlife Service not to give Alaska any more conservation funding until the state conserves — not kills — its wildlife.

A significant portion of #Colorado 's wild lands are being leased for #mining and #drilling exploration, contradicting the #preservation of habitat necessary for the #wolves ' survival. While there is still wilderness in Colorado where wolves can thrive in their ancestral habitat without hindering agriculture or recreation, the author argues that the draft plan falls short if the goal is genuine recovery.

The second petition urges #USFWS to implement specific "management measures" for remaining wolf populations across the lower 48 states more broadly.
We strongly oppose these petitions and call on the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (#USFWS) to deny these requests and uphold #protections for #wolves under the #EndangeredSpeciesAct in these areas and its surrounding regions.

Massive numbers of endangered #wolves in #Sweden are facing brutal death by high-powered rifles after an ill-advised government directive authorized the largest #slaughter in recent history.
The Swedish government is allowing the deaths of up to 75 endangered wolves — nearly a quarter of the estimated remaining population — during night and daytime hunts while the keystone species is in their lairs with their families.
