“This is the ONLY public hearing that will also address the Fish and Wildlife Service’s woefully inadequate proposed rule changes for critically endangered Mexican gray wolves, a subspecies of the gray wolf. Please be sure to study both sets of talking points so that we can better ensure a future for both types of America’s wolves.

Our best chance to secure a future for Mexican gray wolves and stop the reckless delisting of gray wolves will be by showing up in droves at these public hearings and speaking out on behalf of wolves! Even if you would prefer not to testify, your presence will make a huge difference and will show how strongly Americans support wolves! Join us as we gather before the hearing to learn about the proposals, rally with fellow supporters and get tips on how to testify. Then we’ll head to the hearing together and ensure that FWS hears our voices loud and clear!

When:  Friday, October 4^th

Where: Embassy Suites, Sierra Ballroom 1000 Woodward Place NE Albuquerque, NM 87102
