Rocky Mountains

Help Win More Protections for Mountain Caribou

-

In response to work by the Center for Biological Diversity and our partners, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed more than 375,000 acres of protected critical habitat for mountain caribou in northern Idaho and northeastern Washington -- a victory for these rare alpine animals, but not a complete one.

Caribou once ranged across the upper Midwest and Northeast, but the northern Rocky Mountains are now their last stronghold in the contiguous United States. In order to save them, the proposed protected habitat should be expanded to also include areas where the caribou formerly ranged.

These beautiful animals have been thinned and marginalized by a combination of logging, poaching, road construction and the growing intrusion of snowmobiles into their high-elevation habitats.

Please take action today by voicing your support to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for protecting more of the caribou’s last habitat in the lower 48.

Idaho Wolf Tortured in Trap

-

Last year wolves in the northern Rocky Mountains were protected under the Endangered Species Act, but then an unprecedented congressional rider stripped that protection away. This followed promises from the states that wolves would be conserved as a game species like any other.

Instead, as you can see from this photo, by allowing shooting, trapping and snaring Idaho has opened a Pandora's box of wolf scapegoating.

It's no secret that livestock and hunting-outfitter interests are determined to drastically reduce wolf numbers in the northern Rockies. They're feeding an anti-wolf fervor under the banner of protecting elk and livestock, and the shocking cruelty apparent in this photo is a product of that hysteria.

Please sign our petition to help us expose and combat this official sanction of wolf persecution.
