Women for Wolves advocates directly for California’s recovering wolves through public testimony, agency comments, policy advocacy, and calls for nonlethal management.

Women for Wolves has repeatedly mobilized supporters against congressional efforts to strip or weaken federal protections for gray wolves, including federal delisting legislation, appropriations riders, and other efforts to circumvent Endangered Species Act protections.
