The #TeamWolf Campaign is a grassroots coalition committed to raising awareness for & restoring federal protections to Gray Wolves. Visit our homepage @ Teamwolf.org
🚨 BREAKING NEWS: Reps. Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Mike Quigley (D-IL) have introduced the bipartisan Safeguarding Endangered Species Act to reverse the Trump administration’s latest attack on wildlife protections. 🧵 (1/3)
🚨 BOMBSHELL: Montana FWP’s updated model estimates just 725 wolves statewide—369 fewer than its older estimate of 1,094. That’s a discrepancy equal to roughly one-third of the population previously reported. (1/3)
Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack has left the park. For wolves, crossing an invisible boundary can mean losing the protections they’ve relied on for decades. Gray Wolves deserve responsible stewardship rooted in science—not policies that prioritize killing. TeamWolf.Org
🚨 BREAKING: Montana FWP admits it overestimated the state's gray wolf population for years. Its updated model estimates just 725 wolves remained at the end of 2025, yet the state still proposes allowing 250 wolves to be killed. Raise your voice at TeamWolf.org. 🐺
Team Wolf Chief Scientist Dr. Peter Kareiva is pushing back on an LA Times op-ed that blamed California’s Gray Wolf recovery on cattle predation. Just 2 of 12 packs caused nearly half of 2025 losses. The answer is targeted, nonlethal action—not fear-driven killing. Act now!
Wyoming’s wolf population has fallen to a 20-year low after disease devastated pup survival. Yet the state still keeps wolf populations at the bare minimum, still allowing 20 wolves to be hunted this year. The quota should be zero. teamwolf.org
🚨 Now is the time to act! Congress is back in session and Section 125 of the Interior bill would strip Gray Wolves of federal protections and block judicial review—all through an appropriations rider. Tell your Reps to oppose it BEFORE it becomes law: TeamWolf.Org
California has awarded $2M to help ranchers prevent conflict with Gray Wolves through reimbursements, outreach, early-warning technology, and other nonlethal tools. It’s an important step—and a chance for California to lead the country on nonlethal coexistence, not killing.
Gray Wolves don’t just need protection from bullets & traps. They need habitat. The Trump administration has weakened ESA protections by rolling back safeguards for habitat—the very places endangered wildlife depend on to survive. Read more: bit.ly/4vX2fqN
AI may soon be able to tell which wolves are nearby by listening to their howls. That could help ranchers act with nonlethal deterrents before conflict happens like moving livestock & bringing in range riders. Technology should prevent conflict, not make wolves easier targets.
Killing wolves can destabilise packs and increase conflict with livestock. Research has found nonlethal coexistence tools are more than 2.5X as effective at preventing depredation. There is no justification for recreational wolf hunts. Take action: teamwolf.org
Gray Wolves were listed under the ESA in 1974 after being hunted to the brink of extinction. Their recovery is one of USA’s greatest conservation stories—but it took decades, bipartisan support, and continued advocacy. Don't let it be in vain. Act now: TeamWolf.Org
The NY Post ran a fear-driven piece on Gray Wolves, using loaded language and misleading imagery. Conflict is real, but sensationalism helps no one. CA has less than 100 wolves. Headlines like this could get them killed. Journalism should inform, not manipulate.
Europe’s wolves are making a historic comeback—an estimated 23,000 now roam EU member states. But like the U.S., recovery has sparked a backlash: weaker protections, more hunting, and fear-based calls to roll back progress. Read more: bit.ly/4eCGiHf
Dogs have often been mistaken for wolves and killed, a tragic result of the hatred wolves face in the U.S. From brutal hunts to extreme anti-wolf laws, attacks on wolves are relentless. 🐺 Remember: #AllDogsComeFromWolves. Help protect wolves now at TeamWolf.org !
81 bills. Just 25 anti-conservation members behind 65 of them. Their agenda? Sell off public lands, open waters to dirty energy, & gut bedrock wildlife laws. One bill, H.R. 1897 , would weaken the ESA & put Gray Wolves at risk. See the full dashboard: bit.ly/4g0xc8g
A Minnesota deer hunter captured what researchers say is the first-ever footage of a Gray Wolf diving underwater to hunt a beaver. Moments like this show exactly what recovery protects: intelligent animals keeping ecosystems balanced. Help protect wolves at teamwolf.org
A poison pill hidden in the Interior Approps Bill would force the federal government to strip Gray Wolves of protections—bypassing the science-based process required under the ESA. Wolves should not be turned into a funding bargaining chip. ACT NOW: teamwolf.org
Two federally protected Mexican Gray Wolves—a father and son from NM’s Sawtooth Pack—were trapped, tortured, killed, & dumped. The pack is now effectively defunct. Protections should prevent these deaths—not simply document it. Raise your voice: TeamWolf.Org
On Friday, CPW shot and killed a wolf who was tied to sheep depredations. This killing raises the question: is CO building a serious coexistence program or a program where the default response to conflict ends with dead wolves? 15 wolves connected to the program are now dead.
Congress is trying to delist Gray Wolves through a backdoor. A rider in the Interior funding bill would strip federal protections and block judicial review—based on politics and not science. Tell your Rep to oppose this poison pill: teamwolf.org
Arizona Republicans just passed SB 1280—a bill so vile that dems have named it the “Cruella de Vil Act.”The bill targets Mexican Gray Wolf pups critical to recovery work in a place where only 319 wolves remain in the wild. Gov. Hobbs must veto SB 1280. TeamWolf.Org
New research shows wildlife is actively adapting to human presence—not just habitat loss. Gray Wolves expanded their ranges to navigate around people. The point is simple: wolves are already adapting to us. We can meet them halfway. Read more at bit.ly/4uXm28P
One wolf. Hundreds of miles. A century in the making. BEY03F’s journey is a reminder that wolf recovery is still unfolding—and that every dispersing wolf deserves the chance to find a future. (1/2)
The U.S. is facing global conflict, rising costs, and a Congress that still can’t pass a budget on time. Yet lawmakers keep finding time to target wolves. Tell Congress to follow the science and oppose Section 125 of the Interior Approps bill at TeamWolf.Org.
Section 125 remains in the Interior Appropriations Bill after today’s markup. This poison pill would force Gray Wolves off federal protections across most of the lower 48—and block the public from challenging it in court. Tell your Rep to oppose Sec 125: teamwolf.org
A glimpse inside Yellowstone’s Wapiti Lake Pack: one wolf asserts dominance over another—a normal part of pack life. These displays help reinforce relationships, reduce conflict, and show the complex social language wolves use as family groups. Act now: TeamWolf.Org
California just took an important step toward nonlethal coexistence. SB 1135, the California Wildlife Coexistence Act, passed the Senate and now moves to the State Assembly. CA has a chance to lead with a science—based, nonlethal approach over fear-driven killing.
A new study found that humans caused 65% of recorded Great Lakes Gray Wolf deaths, with illegal killing leading overall. When wolf hunting was allowed, legal killing became the top cause—but poaching stayed consistent. Raise your voice at TeamWolf.Org !
