For The Love Of Wolves

There it is... Again what exact good is supposed to come out of this?

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) is a widely effective law that has kept 99% of the species it protects from extinction. It’s also popular among a vast majority of Americans. But one of President Trump’s executive orders seeks to empower an "extinction committee" comprised of his own appointees to decide the fate of an endangered species.

Trump wants this committee to greenlight controversial projects that prioritize special interests, even at the cost of wiping out an entire animal or plant species forever. Some of Trump's cabinet picks also have deep ties to extractive industries like the fossil fuel industry, which want to weaken the ESA to exploit our public lands for mining, drilling, logging and other destructive operations. The Trump administration’s actions serve to advance this industry-first agenda.

The first Trump administration also targeted the ESA. Earthjustice went to court, where we succeeded in reversing most of Trump’s unprecedented damage to the ESA. We're prepared to defend this vital law, and the plants and animals it protects, again.

Yesterday, Proposal 75 passed unanimously, 6-0, and was dismissed as a “housekeeping item.” But this “housekeeping” plan will destroy Alaska’s iconic wildlife: 🐺 Wolves: Remove 73–80% (35–55 wolves). 🐻 Brown Bears: Remove 60% (minimum 375 bears). 🐻 Black Bears: Remove 60–80% (minimum 700 bears). Why we’re heartbroken: • Decades of research show these predator control programs don’t help hunters harvest more moose. • The plan relies on outdated science with no meaningful monitoring or accountability. • It will cost taxpayers heavily to fund helicopter gunning, with little real benefit. • Now, ADFG has full authority to carry this out without public input. These animals deserve better. We all deserve better. This isn’t “housekeeping”—it’s devastation. Thank you to everyone who spoke out against this barbaric proposal. Bears and wolves may not have a voice, but we do. While we lost this round, this is far from over—the fight to protect them continues. You can watch the YouTube meeting from 7:07 to 7:20, where Proposal 75 was briefly discussed and approved, through the link in my bio. #alaska #katmai #bearcub #ursus #grizzkybear #brownbear #katmainationalpark #natgeo #natgeowild #nationalgeographic #nationalpark #nationalparks #thegreatoutdoors #wildlife #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographer #conservation #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeconservation #capturethewild #naturelovers #nature
