Northern Rocky Mountain wolves need Endangered Species Act protections

WildEarth Guardians and our allies scored a major legal victory for gray wolves on February 10, 2022, when a federal court restored Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections for the gray wolf across the lower 48 states after they were eliminated by Trump in 2020.

Unfortunately, the ruling does not apply to wolves in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming because a 2011 Congressional rider stripped this wolf population of ESA protections and even stipulated the rider “shall not be subject to judicial review.”

Guardians and wolf advocates have filed an emergency petition to relist Northern Rocky Mountain gray wolves under the ESA, but the Biden administration has refused to take action. Sign our petition to the Biden administration today before another trophy hunting and trapping season takes a toll on the gray wolf population in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming.
