Today only 16 red wolves remain in the wild. Red wolves are the most endangered wolves on the planet. The Center for Biological Diversity went to court last week to keep this species from disappearing.

This Giving Tuesday please help us save red wolves and other imperiled species by giving to the Future for the Wild Fund. All gifts today will be matched dollar for dollar.

Federal officials continue to declare these wolves "nonessential" — limiting their protection.

Five red wolf pups perished this summer after their father was killed by a vehicle strike, leaving their mother stranded and unable to feed them.

In addition to vehicle strikes, shootings are a leading cause of death for these wolves. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services still allows them to be shot — even though it admits a court decision from years ago should make that wolf-killing illegal.

The Service refuses to act, so the Center had no choice but to take it to court. We won't stand by while they're pushed into extinction. That's why we went to court.

Please make a special Giving Tuesday gift to the Future for the Wild Fund today, and it will matched.
