Stop Old-Growth Logging on Prince of Wales | Save Alaska’s Island Wolf Habitat

February 17, 2016October 17, 2016 ~ intheshadowofthewolf

Without ESA protection, the only long-term solution to the Prince of Wales wolves’ peril is to stop old-growth logging in the Tongass National Forest and to preserve the last remaining big trees that wolves and so many other animals need. Without an end to old-growth logging, no amount of hunting regulations, alone, can save the wolves.

November 9, 2015October 26, 2016 ~ intheshadowofthewolf

A petition asking for emergency Endangered Species Act listing for Prince of Wales Island wolves was essentially denied by the U.S. Department of the Interior office in Anchorage.
