Did you know that the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has killed 41 endangered wolves in the past decade because of preventable conflicts with livestock? Or that it has killed most of these wolves after conflicts with cattle grazing in public forests, sometimes wiping out whole packs? That it allows landowners to kill wolves merely for approaching cattle?

We have a crucial opportunity to change these destructive, unscientific policies. Learn how to get involved in state wildlife policymaking with Washington Wildlife First and other wildlife organizations. Prepare to speak up for wolves at the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission open public comment session, and make friends and connections with dedicated advocates at this informal cocktail hour.

Washington Wildlife First is the only state-based nonprofit dedicated to exclusively to reforming state wildlife management to embrace the concept of coexistence with wildlife, rather than domination of wildlife. We leverage the power of the law, informed advocacy, and strategic partnerships to reform the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, to protect our state’s wildlife in the face of unprecedented global threats to biodiversity.
