Prevent Wolverines from Disappearing Forever

Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
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 body of scientific evidence, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has released a court-ordered decision declaring for the second time that it will do nothing to assist this rare creature -- leaving the wolverine in desperate straits.

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.

To the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service:

I am deeply disturbed by the federal government's decision that again refuses to list the North American wolverine population occurring in the contiguous United States under the Endangered Species Act of 1973.

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.
