The #TeamWolf Campaign is a grassroots coalition committed to raising awareness for & restoring federal protections to Gray Wolves.

@team-wolf.bsky.socialTrump’s Sept. 4 order could strip Gray and Mexican Wolves of federal protection, while directing Congress to advance delisting bills, and pressures states to drop their protections. Gray Wolves are in grave danger. Tell Congress: keep wolves protected. Act now: teamwolf.org/take-action
@team-wolf.bsky.socialBurgum’s Dec. 3 deadline could put Gray and Mexican Wolves on the path to delisting. Team Wolf’s State Wolf Management Report Card shows the stakes when "management" is left to the states: www.teamwolf.org/reportcard
@team-wolf.bsky.socialUSDA Wildlife Services killed 9 Wisconsin wolves, likely from one pack, after DNR cited safety threats. This highlights the power the WI DNR has to kill wolves when they decide need to. So what's the point of a wolf hunt? There isn't one. Act now: www.teamwolf.org/take-action
@team-wolf.bsky.socialWe graded how ten states treat their wolves: trapping, snaring, hunting seasons, whether killing is a last resort.
The four best rank 1st, 5th, 6th and 8th nationally on animal protection law. The four worst rank 30th, 35th, 38th and 48th.
@team-wolf.bsky.socialDelisting should signal recovery. For wolves, it means states take over—and accountability disappears. Peter Kareiva breaks down the need for the State Wolf Management Report Card: 10 states graded on science, transparency & humane treatment. Read now: bit.ly/4hv59wE
@team-wolf.bsky.socialMontana, Wyoming & Idaho show what wolves face: hunters’ bloodlust, including calls to “Shoot, Shovel, and Shut Up” (SSS)—a slogan for poaching. Trump’s EO could make state-backed killing the norm nationwide. Tell Burgum: Keep wolves protected. teamwolf.org/take-action
@team-wolf.bsky.social13 wolves killed in WY in 14 days—more than half its 22-wolf limit. Three areas closed in record time; Hunters in MT have killed 6 wolves including in an area that borders Yellowstone. This could become reality nationwide. Tell Sec. Burgum: don’t delist: TeamWolf.Org
@team-wolf.bsky.social🚨 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. 🐺
@team-wolf.bsky.socialWe 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.
@team-wolf.bsky.socialSB 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.
