Omss -- Anti-wolf extremists are not the only threats to Southwest wolves. A horrible wildfire is raging out-of-control in the heart of lobo habitat. The wildfire threatens at least three dens where wolves are raising their young. Please support our work to save struggling Southwest wolves.

 Dear Omss,
There are only about 50 left in the wild, but anti-wolf extremists are targeting exceptionally rare Southwest wolves -- even as these native animals struggle to regain a foothold in the wilderness of Arizona and New Mexico.
Please donate today to post rewards to catch poachers, help save Southwest wolves and ensure a lasting future for wolves in America.
Zealous anti-wolf hatred has driven these amazing animals to extinction in the past: Lobos disappeared from the landscape last century after decades of trapping, shooting and poisoning.
Thanks to a life-saving captive breeding program, these wolves returned to the wild in 1998. But anti-wolf extremists are once again targeting these rare animals.
Lawless killers have taken the lives of 35 wolves in Arizona and New Mexico since their reintroduction -- including two all-important alpha males last year. But only two poachers have been caught and prosecuted for their crimes.
And recently, anti-wolf extremists in Congress have introduced legislation that would remove vital federal protections for these scarce animals that are struggling to survive in the Southwest -- a move that would virtually doom these wolves to a second extinction in the wild.
Help save something wild. Please donate today to help save struggling wolves in the Southwest and protect other wildlife struggling to survive.
Lobos simply can't survive the fierce onslaught of anti-wolf extremists without our help. Your donation will help Defenders:
- Post rewards to help law enforcement capture lawless wolf-killers and put them behind bars;
- Stop extreme anti-wolf legislation in Congress that would spell doom for Southwest wolves;
- Counter the hate-filled propaganda of extremists through a robust public education campaign;
- Work with ranchers to use proven on-the-ground techniques to keep wolves away from livestock -- and out of harm's way; and
- Promote other vital efforts to ensure a lasting future for America's wolves and other wildlife struggling to survive.
Please donate now to save something wild and help save struggling lobos.
