A coalition of over 60 environmental organizations, including the Wolf Conservation Center, sent a joint letter to House Natural Resources Committee leadership urging them to vote against HR 845 and HR 1897, bills that would attack wolves and endangered wildlife.

HR 845, sponsored by Rep. Boebert (CO), would reinstate the 2020 gray wolf delisting rule and would prevent judicial review. If signed into law, the bill would effectively sign death warrants for thousands of wolves across the country.

HR 1897, sponsored by Rep. Westerman (AR), would gut the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and dismantle the very foundation of environmental law in this country. HR 1897 prioritizes industry over science and would fast-track countless species to extinction. For over 50 years, the ESA has been an important tool in the conservation of popular species like bald eagles, red wolves, and whales, and 84% of Americans support the ESA.
