Senseless killing: The final count is in, and nearly 250 wolves were hunted and killed in Montana this winter.

Monarch butterfly populations are still a tiny fraction of what they should be. But there's good news: After years of public education, warning about pesticides like glyphosate and promoting the restoration of native habitat, we’re seeing some progress.

Wolf 1478F was a “rising star” in Yellowstone National Park’s legendary Junction Butte pack. But at a time when she should have been stepping into leadership as the pack’s alpha female, she became a statistic.

Thanks to this project by UCLA, now we can easily see where the world's worst methane leaks are:

The U.S. Forest Service is revising the management plan for the Tongass National Forest. Add your name: The Tongass is no place for logging.

They weigh about as much as a dollar bill, and yet monarch butterflies can travel thousands of miles during their annual migration. Let’s learn more about some of the challenges these amazing pollinators will face along their journey: environmental-action.org/articles/a-d...

Heartbreaking: Another country is taking steps to legalize wolf hunting.

Icons of the Pacific Northwest, Douglas firs are some of the country’s most beloved trees. Meet some of the wildlife that calls these cathedral-esque conifers home:

What lies ahead for a wolf who’s stumbled into a wolf trap? Hours, sometimes days, of pain, panic and hunger, ending with death. We’re calling on Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops to stop selling wolf traps: environmental-action.org/take-action/...

Happy Wolf Wednesday!

Meet the Environmental Action team! When Pat Kelly-Fischer isn’t writing online content and managing our email program, you’ll probably find him on top of a mountain… or maybe looking for some red pandas to hang out with.

"When researchers analyzed how much those losses changed from year-to-year, they found worrying evidence of larger and larger declines."

A shift in traffic patterns by even one hour can spell disaster for wildlife living near roads. Be extra vigilant while driving in the coming mornings.

Meet three American animals especially threatened by climate change.

A company wants to deploy satellites covered in mirrors to produce "sunlight on-demand" at night. This isn't just ridiculous. It could also do even more damage to animals and plants that need darkness to thrive. Tell the FCC: Protect the night sky: environmental-action.org/take-action/...

Happy World Wildlife Day!

Carrying nutrients on your head? Yet another reason why caribou are amazing.

This would put millions of acres of forests on the chopping block -- and could push endangered species to the brink of extinction.

The Okefenokee Swamp is a wildlife haven. It’s also threatened by nearby titanium mining. Join us in urging the mining company, Chemours, to not mine near the Okefenokee:

You may not associate old-growth forests with fish. But did you know that healthy trees play a critical role in keeping the fish in our rivers and lakes healthy? The same is true in reverse, too. environmental-action.org/articles/fis...

Along with our friends at Environment America, we just submitted more than 28,000 public comments asking NOAA not to allow deep sea mining that could be devastating for our oceans. Thank you to everyone who signed our petition!

Deep sea mining could decimate a teeming environment full of creatures scientists are just starting to discover. Tell NOAA: Defend the deep sea.

“I think there is real potential for solar farms to be especially good for biodiversity in prairie ecosystems, since prairies evolved over time to require repeated disturbance." -- Johanna Neumann, from our friends at Environment America

"The manner in which 1478F was killed was especially heinous and outside the bounds of ethical fair chase hunting, according to the wildlife experts."

🚨🚨🚨 This morning, the Bureau of Land Management published plans to hold an auction for the first commercial oil and gas drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.

Bear baiting is cruel and dangerous. We’re calling on Congress to end this practice for good.

Happy Wolf Wednesday!

Swamps and bogs and fens, oh my!

The wolves born this spring deserve bright futures.
