🚨Urgent action alert🚨

The nationalparkservice just proposed a sweeping plan to strip critical protections away from wildlife across millions of acres of national parklands in Alaska.

The plan would remove restrictions on hunting and trapping methods for wildlife like bears, wolves, and caribou, greenlighting cruel and unethical practices that have no place on these public lands. 

It would allow bear baiting — using food to make bears an easy target — and let hunters use artificial light to illuminate dens and conveniently gun down bears, including mothers and cubs, when they're most vulnerable. 

Even the beloved superstars of Katmai's Fat Bear Week would be at risk. 

Wolves, bears, caribou, and other large mammals are not expendable. 

They're vital to keeping wild areas healthy for the many species who share their habitat.

Now is the time to raise your voice to protect Alaska's wildlife. 

The public comment period has been extended and now closes on April 24. 

Please speak up for these animals before it's too late at the link in our bio. 

Please share to help raise awareness!
