Breaking.... Mexican Gray Wolf (Lobo) is the world's most endangered gray wolf. As of today, 97 are clinging to survival in the Southwestern States. Please sign this petition, Facebook the representatives taking action against the Mexican Gray Wolf. Petitions work, but I know for a fact FB works double to state representatives. I personally will FB State Representatives in the Southwest to help stop this extinction and ask US Fish and Wildlife and Secretary Jewell, to use whatever recovery program necessary to keep these beautiful animals from extinction. "EXTINCTION IS FOREVER"

Anti-wolf forces in the Southwest have joined together to destroy the recovery efforts for our Mexican Gray Wolf,  lobo, the world's most endangered gray wolf.

 Arizona Senators Jeff Flake and John McCain have just introduced a bill that could lead to the the Mexican Gray Wolf's extinction.

Imminent Wolf Extinction Threat

If the states of New Mexico, Arizona, Utah and Colorado get their way and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) doesn't stand up to them, the Mexican gray wolf, or lobo, will go extinct in the wild sometime very soon.

Extremists in these states have all but paralyzed efforts by FWS to foster recovery of the lobo, the world's most endangered gray wolf subspecies.

The just-released 2015 annual wolf count bore bad news. The wild Mexican gray wolf population has dropped 12 percent in the past year to just 97 animals.

Please urge Interior Secretary Sally Jewell to do what is necessary to save these majestic animals!

Dear Secretary Jewell,

As someone who cares deeply about wildlife, I am a concerned that the Mexican gray wolf is headed toward extinction, and I urge you to direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to take immediate action to improve the lobos' chance to survive and recover.

As you know, the 2015 end of year count in the U.S. found only 97 wild Mexican gray wolves, a decrease of 12% from last year. This is not a good sign in the only wild population in the world (there are fewer than 25 wolves in Mexico), particularly when the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service predicted an annual growth rate of 10%.

The genetic situation of the population is even more dire than the numbers suggest with the wolves on average as related as full siblings. It is imperative that the Service release more wolves from captivity to bolster both the genetics and the numbers.

The captive population has a greater diversity of genes than the wild population, so releases from captivity, if immediate and substantial, will begin to improve the genetic health of the wild population. But the longer this "genetic rescue" is delayed, the more difficult it becomes. There have been only four Mexican gray wolves released during the entire Obama administration. Delaying will invite extinction of the lobo.

We appreciate, Madam Secretary, your efforts to safeguard all of our endangered species. We ask that you direct the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to release substantial numbers of Mexican gray wolves this year and next - their survival depends on it.

Thank you for your consideration.
