Prevent Wolverines from Disappearing Forever
Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
Sponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife
The Bush/Cheney administration has spurned the wolverine again, defying scientific evidence and refusing to list this rare creature under the Endangered Species Act.
New scientific evidence reported by Defenders of Wildlife documents the wolverine's uncertain future, raising concerns about the effects of global warming and continued trapping of this elusive carnivore.
But despite the growing threats to wolverines, the federal government has yet to act. And according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, the Bush/Cheney Administration even ignored the findings of its own on-the-ground scientists in order to block action to protect wolverines.
We need to let the Bush/Cheney administration know that we strongly believe wolverines and their habitat need federal protection, before it's too late.
Please sign our petition to the administration to list the wolverine as a protected species under the Endangered Species Act.

The idea that humans are the only thing that really matters and that we can kill whatever we want for any reason we pull out of the air...IS SICK! We are wrong if we do not stand up against this! What kind of world are we living in? One that we are destroying and of GREED and lust for power and money, more space to build junk on! STOP KILLING! |

STOP TRAPPING THE WOLVERINES. It is critical that we act now to preserve the habitat of this species before we push this carnivore to local and regional extinction. I strongly urge you to reconsider your position in light of this scientific evidence and list the North American wolverine under Endangered Species Act. A recent report by Defenders of Wildlife shows new scientific evidence that the wolverine is in desperate straits, under threat from global warming and human activity that are shrinking and fragmenting the wolverine's habitat. Wolverines are threatened by the isolation of their populations, trapping (which is still legal in Montana) and the disturbance of denning areas by snowmobiles and other recreational activities. The wolverine exists at extremely low numbers and reproduces very slowly, resulting in populations that are particularly vulnerable to these threats, especially females. So, once again, I strongly and urgently implore you to reconsider your position.
