Protect Canada's rare eastern wolves

Ontario and Quebec are home to the few remaining eastern wolves in the world. Right now, there are likely fewer than 1000 eastern wolves left. It's Canada's duty to protect and recover this rare wolf species before it is too late.

In Ontario, eastern wolves are the only threatened species that can be legally hunted and trapped.

Moreover, what little legal protection does exist for eastern wolves may soon be lost when the province replaces the Endangered Species Act with a watered-down law that is set to leave species at risk behind.

We need your help to get Ontario to do the right thing NOW and ban killing of these rare wolves across their entire proposed recovery zone, as outlined in the map below:

Wolf killing must be stopped across the Proposed Recovery Zone to protect eastern wolves.

Please ask the Ministers about the following concerns:

- Please institute immediate protections for eastern wolves across the proposed Wolf Recovery Zone that has been set out in the ongoing and much-delayed provincial Recovery Strategy. Hunting and trapping wolves and coyotes, which they look alike, must be prohibited throughout this area to afford wolves a real chance at recovery.

- When can we expect a thorough recovery action plan for eastern wolves, given how many years the Recovery Strategy has been delayed by your government?

- How many eastern wolves have been legally hunted and trapped since the Provincial Park buffers were instituted in 2016? How have these park buffers benefitted the eastern wolf as a species?

- When will the Endangeres Species Act be replaced with the Species Conservation Act and what will that mean for threatened eastern wolves? How will it impact the Recovery Strategy's release and ESA-mandated Government Response Statement?

- Please consider stripping non-resident hunters of their right to hunt wolves and coyotes across the province. Ontario's wolves and coyotes are not for sale to American trophy hunters.
