A federal judge has ordered the Bush administration to restore endangered species protections for gray wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the northern Rockies until the full case can be heard in court. NRDC, Earthjustice and other groups requested the preliminary injunction in order to stop the slaughter of wolves that ensued after the Bush administration stripped them of federal protection in March. In the months leading up to the court's ruling, more than 110 wolves were killed in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming -- about one per day. Meanwhile, NRDC interns stationed at an information booth inside Yellowstone this summer collected more than 200 signatures per day from visitors who were eager to show their support for creating a long-term recovery plan for wolves. Please make your own voice heard on behalf of wolf recovery by going to the website of our partner organization, the NRDC Action Fund.
