The wolf is not just a part of the natural community-it is the very embodiment of wild nature. Books such as The Call of the Wildand White Fang have cemented in our psyches the oneness of wolves and wilderness. By helping to restore the very symbol
of wilderness, we too are restored in spirit.

Alaska is home to the largest remaining population of gray wolves in the United States. Some 7,000 to 9,000 wolves roam the state. But unlike wolves in the lower 48 states, wolves in Alaska are not afforded protection under the Endangered Species Act. Wolf hunting is allowed in most parts of Alaska and nearly 7,500 wolves were killed in the last five years.  But today, the greatest threat to Alaska's wolves comes from aerial killing or same-day land and shoot wolf hunting.  Hunters in planes can now use airplanes to search for wolves, "buzz" the pack, and chase them until the wolves are exhausted. The animals are then shot from the air or on the ground after the plane lands. Just when gray wolves are roaming free again in America, some want to strip federal protections from many of these magnificent animals. This would make it easier to kill wolves throughout most of their historic range in the Lower 48 states. A new federal rule classifying gray wolves in most of the Lower 48 states as merely threatened rather than endangered has just been announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It's the first step by Interior Secretary Gale Norton toward putting wolves under the control of states where politicians want to eradicate these magnificent animals.  Speak up for wolves. Once all but wiped out in the Lower 48 by extermination campaigns, wolves are just now struggling for survival again in the wild. But they need protection for their fragile recovery to continue.
