🚨 BREAKING: Gov. Newsom signed SB 1135, California’s Wildlife Coexistence Act. It re-establishes a statewide program for proactive, nonlethal conflict prevention and codifies wolf-livestock coexistence and compensation. Thank you, @CAgovernor, for choosing coexistence. 🐺

We graded all ten states with established wolf populations on science, transparency and humane treatment. Only three clear a B in all three. The four lowest all do better on transparency than on how they treat wolves. teamwolf.org/report-card

SB 1135 needs to be signed into law. Gov. Newsom has until Wednesday (September 30) to act! The California Wildlife Coexistence Act would restore statewide support for proactive, nonlethal ways to prevent conflict. Call (916) 445-2841 and tell @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: Sign SB 1135.

In a Daily Inter Lake op-ed, Team Wolf’s Josh Schott calls out Montana’s decision to approve killing 300 wolves—50 more than FWP recommended—even after 92% of public comments opposed it. Montana’s wolves—and its people—deserve better. Read: bit.ly/3UV7CZY

The White House says Trump’s wolf EO supports ranchers. But using ranchers as cover to strip protections from Gray Wolves & Mexican Wolves isn’t support. It’s scapegoating. Ranchers need help. Wolves need protection. Tell Burgum: don’t delist wolves. TeamWolf.org/take-action

New research shows wolves may be blueberry gardeners: seeds that pass through a wolf’s digestive system sprout about 7 days faster. In northern MN, blueberries can make up 83% of wolves’ summer diet. Wolves shape ecosystems in surprising ways and those systems are better for it.

When Cody Roberts tortured and killed a young wolf, Wyoming Game & Fish—led by Brian Nesvik—only fined him $250. Now Nesvik runs USFWS, leading the review that decides if wolves keep federal protection. The deck may be stacked, but we can still act: TeamWolf.Org

Trump is trying to turn the most cowardly excuse for killing a wolf into a legal defense. Per the NYT, a new administration memo says killing an endangered animal is only illegal if it was specifically targeted. A dead wolf becomes just another "accident." Stand with wolves: TeamWolf.org

Wolf hunting opened today in MT & WY, 11 days after Trump's order. MT admitted it overcounted its wolves by 30%, then set a quota of 300 wolves anyway. WY just lost most of a year's pups to distemper & still opened the season. Tell Burgum: don't delist. teamwolf.org/take-action

Trump can’t unilaterally delist wolves. FWS delisting takes science, public comment, & review. But his order gives Burgum 90 days to push wolves toward delisting and asks Congress to bypass FWS & the courts. The threat is real. Raise your voice NOW at TeamWolf.Org !

Gray Wolves and Mexican Gray Wolves are in danger and the Endangered Species Act is the only thing protecting them. Last time states took over, 218 wolves died in Wisconsin in under three days. Trump gave Sec. Burgum 90 days to decide if they stay protected. (1/2)

Trump’s executive order promises to help ranchers by targeting wolf protections. But killing wolves won’t fix drought or meatpackers squeezing ranchers’ profits. Team Wolf’s Dr. Peter Kareiva exposes the con—and why wolves are being scapegoated: peterandthewolves.substack.com/p/trumps-con...

After Trump green-lit 300,000 metric tons of cheap imported beef, ranchers revolted. In an attempt pander, Trump has now given the Interior 90 days to justify delisting Gray Wolves & Lobos. Wolves account for less than 1% of unwanted cattle losses. TeamWolf.Org

Mollie’s Pack is Yellowstone’s last surviving pack from the 1995 wolf reintroduction. For 30 years, this family has taught scientists about wolf behavior, family bonds and healthy ecosystems. After a mild winter made prey harder to catch, they followed food beyond the park. (1/2)

Montana can’t say how many wolves live in the state—its two estimates differ by 369. Yet it just authorized hunters and trappers to kill 300 wolves, 50 more than its own agency recommended. That’s not science-based management. It’s a kill-first gamble. TeamWolf.org

Colorado wolf 2504 was shot and killed by a hunter who says he mistook her for a coyote. His penalty? Just $140. He immediately reported the killing—but shooting first does not erase the responsibility. Every wolf matters, and one death can destabilize an entire pack.
