Will she have died in vain?

America's Wildlife Needs YOU!  Do these creatures have a future in the wild? It's up to us! Please donate today to support our efforts to protect America's iconic wild creatures. Dear Activelids, Of all of the wolves gunned down outside of Yellowstone Park, none left a legacy quite like the wolf affectionately known by park visitors as “06." The alpha female of Yellowstone’s Lamar Canyon pack, 06 (researchers dubbed her 832F) was truly majestic – a spectacular animal that wowed Park visitors with her striking and fearless presence. Your urgent donation today will help us win the war on wolves. Now is the time to rally to their aid. She was shot and killed on December 6th, during a rare venture outside the park. The tracking collar she wore showed that she and her pack stayed inside the park 95% of the time. Wolf-watchers and field scientists alike have expressed shock and heartbreak over the loss of this iconic wolf matriarch. We won't let her death be in vain. Defenders has been at the forefront fighting to protect wolves in the Northern Rockies and your critical support provides us with resources that are essential when responding to emergencies surrounding imperiled species.  We will work tirelessly to protect Yellowstone’s wolves from hunters by working to get surrounding states to create no-kill buffer zones around the park. We’re also in court, fighting the delisting of Wyoming’s wolf population – which gave rise to this tragedy in the first place. And as always, we are in Washington, DC speaking out for wildlife -- and on behalf of you -- fighting to protect imperiled species and the wildlife we all love. We need you now more than ever - for wolves and for endangered wildlife from coast to coast. Thank you in advance for standing up for wildlife. Wishing you a joyful and healthy New Year. Sincerely, Jamie Rappaport Clark President Defenders of Wildlife P.S. Your donation is urgently needed to support our efforts to protect America’s imperiled wildlife.
