It’s GivingTuesday and all donations up to $20,000 will be DOUBLED by some of our generous members! Here at Wilderness Watch, individuals like YOU provide more than 90 percent of our funding, so please be as generous as you can! Click here to donate and DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT for Wilderness and its wildlife. As we all know, Wilderness isn’t truly wild without its wildlife and wildlife can’t truly be wild without Wilderness. In 2025 we successfully defended both! Thanks to one of our lawsuits, recreational wolf trapping and snaring in Idaho remains halted spring through fall in millions of acres that serve as grizzly bear habitat, including across the Selway-Bitterroot, Gospel-Hump, Cecil D. Andrus-White Clouds, and Jim McClure-Jerry Peak Wildernesses, and parts of the River of No Return, Hells Canyon, Hemingway-Boulders, and Sawtooth Wildernesses. We helped defeat a State of Montana proposal for a year-round wolf hunting season in the million-acre Bob Marshall Wilderness. Wilderness Watch supports ending wolf hunting and trapping in Wilderness, period. This particular proposal included collecting bounties for dead wolves, a clear violation of the Wilderness Act’s prohibition on commercial enterprise in Wilderness. And this summer, again thanks to one of our lawsuits, a federal court ruled that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wrongfully denied reinstating Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the Northern Rockies. The agency must now reconsider the ongoing slaughter of wolves in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming—including deep within Wilderness—and the future viability of wolves across the West. GivingTuesday kicks off our most important fundraising period of the year, and we hope you will put a donation to Wilderness Watch at the top of your list so together we can keep fighting for Wilderness and the wildlife that call it home. And remember, thanks to some of our generous members, your GivingTuesday donation—and your impact—will be DOUBLED! Thank you, George, Dana, Kevin, Dawn, Brett, Katie, Matthew, Dan, Nicole, and Mason |
