The Battle is Not Over

Dear Friends, Thank you again for signing the petition to protect wolves and bears in National Wildlife Refuges in Alaska. Even though President Trump did not heed our strong voices (and instead signed H.J.Res.69 into law), there is still much to do to protect our national wildlife heritage going forward. Because wolves and bears in Alaska need strong, focused stewards, a new organization has just been established: Alaskans for Wildlife. I know the remarkable people who are leading this group, and I just signed up for their newsletter. Please take a look at their Facebook page and like it: Facebook.com/wildlifewildernesswildlife. Also, more importantly, sign up for their newsletter at: http://www.alaskansforwildlife.com/about-us.html. The more we know, the more effective we become and the more we can do to protect bears and wolves for current and future generations. Also, Defenders of Wildlife's Alaska office continues to defend Refuge wolves and bears in the courts: http://www.defenders.org/. We are very thankful for this. Please become an advocate for Defenders. During this season of rebirth, we must continue to stay strong, persistent, and determined -- and be heard. Thank you for all that you are doing. My best, Deborah
