What can you do?
Sign the Petition: Protect the Grizzly – Say NO to Delisting and Trophy Hunting in the Lower 48
Grizzly bears in the Lower 48 are once again at risk. Politicians in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming are pushing to strip their Endangered Species Act protections and open the door to trophy hunting—even as climate change pushes these bears closer to extinction.
At the same time, the Endangered Species Act itself is under attack. The very law that saved the grizzly is being weakened, setting a dangerous precedent for all wildlife.
Grizzlies need more protection—not less. They need safe passage, climate-resilient habitat, and room to roam.
Add your name if you believe grizzlies still deserve protection—now more than ever.

“The Griz Abides.”
