Protect Mexican Wolves

The Mexican wolf, the smallest and rarest subspecies of gray wolf in North America, was nearly erased from the wild. Today, their comeback is real, but still fragile: biologists documented only around 300 wolves in the wild at the end of 2024. That number is progress, but also a reminder of how close we still are to losing them.

Now, that progress is under direct attack in Congress.

The U.S. House of Representatives is considering Representative Gosar’s bill, H.R. 4255,  which would strip Endangered Species Act protections from Mexican wolves by legislative order, not through science, not through the careful public process the law requires.

 

This is a pivotal moment. A bill like this doesn’t just target one species; it sets a precedent that any endangered animal can be “delisted” without public or scientific review.

 

Gosar’s bill would remove the Mexican wolf from the federal endangered species list and nullify key federal rules that currently guide their protection and recovery.

 

Mexican wolves are still rebuilding what was taken from them: stable habitat, safe passage, and the genetic health needed to endure. Wildlife managers are cross-fostering pups into wild dens to strengthen genetic diversity, careful, hands-on work that underscores one truth: recovery is not a slogan; it’s a long-term commitment.


Take Action: Tell your representative to vote NO on H.R. 4255


In solidarity,
Endangered Species Coalition

P.S. We’re fighting for a future where Mexican wolves don’t just exist on paper, as a number, a map, but as living wildlife communities on the land, doing what they’ve always done: keeping ecosystems resilient, restoring balance, and reminding us that wildness still has a home here.

 

Defend Wildlife. Protect the ESA. Power the Movement.
