TAKE ACTION

Wolves Need More Than Awareness. They Need Action.

Women for Wolves mobilizes a community of 190,000+ advocates to protect wolves through policy, education, & public action.  We advocate for wildlife legislation in California and are proud to support the advancement of SB 1135 and SB 1305, both of which passed their first Senate committees this year.

wildlife coexistence billboard campaigns

To help shift public perceptions surrounding wolves, Women for Wolves launched coexistence-focused billboard campaigns in Northern California to promote science-based wolf recovery, non-lethal coexistence, and public support for California’s returning wolves & native wildlife.

Our Policy Work And Wins:

Women for Wolves actively advocates for wolves through confronting wildlife management agencies, petitions, testimony, coalition work, & public mobilization.
