Stop Aerial Wolf Killing

Planned aerial killing to artificially boost game populations will target wolves in Idaho. As many as two thirds of the wolves in the Lolo District of Clearwater National Forest could be killed… unless we can stop them.

Dear Defender of Wildlife,

Yesterday, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game confirmed the state is moving forward as soon as weather permits with plans to have the federal Wildlife Services agency kill as many as two thirds of the wolves in the Lolo District of Clearwater National Forest – possibly leaving only 25 or 30 wolves in the district in a misguided attempt to increase elk numbers for hunter harvest.

Help us stop the killing. Please donate now to support our all-out campaign to stop this ill-conceived and unscientific wolf cull.

The killing could begin within days, when snowfall and a break in the storm in the area will make it easier for federal agents in helicopters to find, target and kill wolves in this wild area of Northeastern Idaho.

According to the Idaho Department of Fish and Game director, if Wildlife Services -- the federal agency charged with the killing -- is allowed to move forward with this plan, the state hopes to expand the use of federal dollars and aerial culling to other national forests in Idaho. 

The Obama Administration has not yet indicated how it will respond to Idaho's request to use federal money and staff to kill these wolves on federal lands, or why it would be justified in doing so since these wolves are on federal lands and not in major conflict with livestock.

That's why today Defenders is launching a new comprehensive campaign to stop aerial wolf killing in the Lolo District and help ensure an interconnected, sustainable population of these ecologically important animals remain in the region.

Donate now to help stop the killing and save the lives of wolves.

In the next week – with your help –we will launch an outreach plan to make more people aware of this plan, including in media outlets locally and across the country.

We'll put pressure on federal officials to not participate in Idaho's unjustified wolf killing plan, including Secretary Tom Vilsack (who oversees the agency that would execute the wolf killing plan in the Lolo District) and President Obama. And we'll continue to work with ranchers to reduce conflicts with wolves, saving the lives of these amazing and important animals.

This will be a difficult fight, but I believe that our efforts can prevail – with your help. Please donate now to support efforts to save Idaho wolves and other imperiled wildlife.

To support our vital advocacy efforts in the coming days we need to raise at least $50,000 by Monday. Will you help?

The aerial wolf killing plan is not the only new threat to wolves in Idaho.

The Idaho Fish and Game Commission is reportedly investigating the possibility of no limits on people killing wolves on private land, similar to practices in Alberta and British Columbia, Canada, where wolves are far more numerous.

And the chairman of the Idaho Fish and Game Commission even indicated that the state may reclassify wolves as predators under state law – effectively engaging a shoot-on-sight plan similar to Wyoming's awful plan.

The state reports that pack sizes are down. It also appears that young, less experienced wolves have been the most likely to be killed under Idaho's wolf plan.

We need to restore science to wolf management in Idaho, and Defenders needs your help to do it. Please donate whatever you can to support our work now.  

With Gratitude,

Jamie Rappaport Clark, Defenders of Wildlife Jamie Rappaport Clark

Fwd: ACTA - A nova ameaça para a rede

english mobile

Caros amigos,



Um novo tratado global pode permitir que corporações policiem tudo que fazemos na Internet. Na semana passada, três milhões de pessoas ajudaram a adiar projetos de lei de censura nos EUA --  se agirmos agora, poderemos fazer com que o Parlamento Europeu enterre esse novo tratado para todos nós: 
Na semana passada, 3 milhões de nós contra-atacaram a investida dos Estados Unidos sobre nossa Internet! --- mas há uma ameaça ainda maior e nosso movimento global pela liberdade online está completamente decidido a acabar com essa ameaça de uma vez por todas.

ACTA - um acordo global - pode permitir que as corporações censurem a Internet. Negociado secretamente por um pequeno número de países ricos e por poderes corporativos, esse acordo configuraria um novo órgão sombrio para a regulamentação comercial internacional que daria poder para interesses privados policiarem tudo que fazemos online e iria impor enormes penalidades -- inclusive sentença à prisão -- a pessoas que eles julgarem estar afetando seus negócios.

Nesse exato momento, a Europa está decidindo se ratificará ou não o ACTA -- e sem ela, o ataque global à liberdade na Internet vai desmoronar. Nós sabemos que a Europa se opôs ao ACTA anteriormente, mas alguns membros do Parlamento Europeu estão hesitando -- vamos dar o empurrão que eles precisam para rejeitar o tratado. Assine a petição -- faremos uma entrega espetacular em Bruxelas quando alcançarmos 500.000 assinaturas:

http://www.avaaz.org/po/eu_save_the_internet/?vl

É revoltante -- os governos de quatro quintos da população mundial foram excluídos das negociações do Acordo Comercial Antipirataria (ACTA) e burocratas não eleitos têm trabalhado de perto com lobistas corporativos para criar novas regras e um regime de aplicação dessas regras altamente perigoso. O ACTA cobriria inicialmente os EUA, Europa e 9 outros países, e então se expandiria para o mundo. Mas se conseguirmos que a União Europeia diga não agora, o tratado perderá sua força e poderá ser paralisado para sempre.

As regras bastante rigorosas significam que pessoas em qualquer lugar do mundo são punidas por atos simples como compartilhar um artigo de jornal ou enviar um vídeo de uma festa que possua uma música sob direitos autorais. Vendido como sendo um acordo comercial para proteger os direitos autorais, o ACTA pode também banir medicamentos genéricos que salvam vidas e ameaçar o acesso de fazendeiros locais a sementes que eles precisam. E, espantosamente, o comitê do ACTA vai ter carta-branca para mudar suas próprias regras e sanções sem controle democrático.

O interesse das grandes corporações está pressionando muito pela aprovação do ACTA, mas o Parlamento Europeu está no meio do caminho. Vamos enviar um apelo enorme aos parlamentares para ignorarem o lobby e se posicionarem a favor da liberdade da Internet. Assine agora e envie para todos que você conhece.

http://www.avaaz.org/po/eu_save_the_internet/?vl

Na semana passada, vimos a dimensão do poder da coletividade quando milhões de nós juntaram forças para impedir que os EUA aprovassem leis de censura da Internet que atingiriam a rede em cheio. Nós também mostramos ao mundo o quão poderosas nossas vozes podem ser. Vamos levantar nossas vozes mais uma vez para combater essa nova ameaça.

Com esperança e determinação,

Dalia, Alice, Pascal, Emma, Ricken, Maria Paz e o restante da equipe da Avaaz
