Yesterday a federal judge ruled in our favor to restore protection to Yellowstone grizzly bears.

That means that the trophy hunts planned for Wyoming and Idaho, set to begin this fall, cannot move ahead.

It's a massive win for wildlife. Thank you for supporting this incredible fight.

Wyoming and Idaho wanted to let more than 20 Yellowstone grizzlies be gunned down by trophy hunters if they left the protective confines of the national park. More than half of them could've been female bears.

The Trump administration removed Endangered Species Act protection from these bears in the summer of 2017. We knew it was premature and that the bears have yet to fully recover. So we sued — and we're glad the judge saw it that way too.

We fully expect the Trump administration to appeal this decision, and we'll be ready.

Join us in celebrating this victory. We'll rest easier knowing Yellowstone's bears won't be gunned down anytime soon.

Thank you for speaking out, signing petitions, raising funds for and donating to this cause.

We’re in this fight for the long haul – and know that you will be too.
