We work to develop sound public policy that supports and encourages the return of gray wolves in the wild. We partner with conservation groups across the country and work with state and federal officials to achieve this goal.<\/p>\n<h3>Mexican Gray Wolf<\/h3>\n<p>The Western Environmental Law Center has fought to protect the Mexican gray wolf of Arizona and New Mexico for decades, catalyzing the initial reintroduction effort. We successfully challenged an overzealous agency policy of lethally removing wolves from the wild following depredations on livestock, and continue to defend the reintroduction program against industry legal challenges. Our goal is to achieve full recovery of these wolves in the wild. We are working to preserve the victories we accomplished and are partnering with a coalition of Mexican wolf advocates to realize this goal.<\/p>\n<h3>Wild Salmon<\/h3>\n<div class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_0\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text et_pb_module et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_text_0\">\n<p>Our goal is to restore healthy salmon runs in the Pacific Northwest. Wild Pacific salmon are critical to coastal and freshwater ecosystems, and many coastal economies, but many runs are now less than 10 percent of their historical size. Through collaboration and litigation, we focus our efforts on preserving and restoring freshwater habitat and spawning grounds. We work to stop ancient forest timber sales, instream mining, and off-road vehicle abuses that impair freshwater habitats; remove dams that impede migration; and improve hatchery and fish stocking operations that dilute the genetic integrity and increase smolt mortality.<\/p>\n<h3>Grizzly Bear<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_text et_pb_module et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_text_0\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text et_pb_module et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_text_0\">\n<p>We\u2019re thoughtfully, methodically working to restore grizzly bears in the U.S. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has repeatedly attempted to remove endangered species protection for grizzly bears in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, claiming the bears have sufficiently recovered, despite scientific studies to the contrary. Those bears are crucial to helping the other segmented grizzly populations across the western U.S. recover. When top predators are reduced or removed from an environment entirely, cascading effects can throw the natural order into disarray. The grizzly bear is one of these linchpins of our region.<\/p>\n<h3>Canada Lynx<\/h3>\n<div id=\"node-1735\" class=\"node node-type-campaign\">\n<div class=\"node-inner\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<div class=\"node-body\">\n<p>WELC is committed to helping this majestic cat thrive in the wild throughout the southern and northern Rocky Mountains. Canada lynx once ranged from Alaska to New Mexico, but due to a declining population were listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2000. In order to survive and recover in the wild, lynx need room to roam. We are protecting occupied lynx habitat and travel corridors, pushing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to adopt and implement an adequate recovery plan, and ensuring that the U.S. Forest Service complies with the important forest protection designed to conserve lynx in the northern Rockies.<\/p>\n<h3>Northern Spotted Owl<\/h3>\n<p>The northern spotted owl is truly on extinction&#8217;s doorstep. The Trump administration eliminated a full third of the charismatic bird&#8217;s protected critical habitat &#8211; 3.4 million acres in Washington state, Oregon and California. We successfully challenged that in court to protect spotted owl critical habitat from logging and save the charismatic northern spotted owl from extinction. We\u2019ve fought for northern spotted owls since our founding, and will continue to stand up for the owl until it fully recovers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"p1\">Wolverines<\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\">Exceedingly rare in the contiguous U.S., wolverines number only about 250-300 outside of Alaska. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has repeatedly refused to provide the protections this iconic animal needs to recover, despite WELC&#8217;s numerous victories over these anti-scientific decisions through the years. We are in court to force the federal government to comply with the Endangered Species Act and finally aid in wolverine recovery.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;
