Habitat loss & #climatechange are causing wildlife populations to become smaller/fragmented/isolated. Additional pressures such as hunting/trapping further reduce abundance, resulting in a cascade of negative outcomes @POTUS. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @SecDebHaaland

Hunting and trapping occur at unsustainable levels on POW, with illegal killing accounting for as much as half of human-caused mortality. Please provide emergency protection for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

An unprecedented 165 #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves were killed during the 2019-2020 trapping season after state/federal wildlife managers ignored the recommendations of their wolf management program. Protect under #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS #StopExtinction

The only regularly monitored population of #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves is found on Prince of Wales Island. Over the past 15 years, the POW wolf population has suffered a decline of at least 60%. Protect under #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

The wolf’s low numbers, mismanagement of trapping, damage from past/future national forest logging, as well as private/state mature & old growth logging, #climatechange, and inbreeding depression, continue to threaten the #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves. @POTUS @SecDebHaaland

.@forestservice failed it's mandate to “assist in maintaining long-term sustainable wolf populations,” as required in the Tongass Forest Plan. Please provide emergency protections for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

Though @POTUS recently announced the intention to restore the #RoadlessRule on the Tongass, and end large-scale old growth timber sales, no deadlines for the implementation of these @forestservice initiatives was offered. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @SecDebHaaland

3/All these estimates do NOT include illegal take, nor do they include death from disease, accidents, etc. Please provide emergency #ESA protections 4 #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS prior to the season! #StopExtinction

2/And again between 2018 and 2019 we see a population increase of nearly double and after a reported "harvest" of 25%! This just is not possible! Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves under #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

1/The population estimates provided by @adfg_seak are not plausible. Between 2015 & 2016 the population of #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves more than double! No wolf population enumerated over the size of GMU2 has ever increased that much in one year @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

Combine severe inbreeding depression and poor (bordering on negligent with zero moral compass) wolf management, add to the mix habit loss, #climatechange and illegal take—the future for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves spells #extinction @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

2/ This research demonstrates just exactly how poorly the #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves have been "managed." Provide emergency #ESA protections for SE Alaska #wolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS before the season begins.

1/Recent research (bit.ly/GenomicInferen…) argues that wolves in SE Alaska are highly inbred, with similar patterns as wolves on Isle Royal, MI. a population founded by just several individuals! Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves under #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

The wolf trapping season (11/15-12/15) incredibly allows *no limit* on the number of wolves that may be taken; hunting season, open to residents and non-residents alike, allows a take of an astonishing 5 wolves. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland

2/This sort of mismanagement serves to eliminate the proliferation of a sustainable wolf population. #Extinction through inbreeding is imminent without emergency #ESA protections for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

1/Alaska constitutional authority requires the state to manage ALL wildlife using long-term sustained yield principles. @adfg_seak has shown time and again that this policy is reserved for ungulate species. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

3/ Upon extrapolation more error and uncertainty are introduced as @adfg_seak assumes the total area functions as a single contiguous land mass rather than an archipelago @POTUS @SecDebHaaland Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves #StopExtinction

2/ Accuracy is further diminished as those samples are based on data from approximately 40% then extrapolated to the entirety of GMU-2, including areas that do not sustain #wolves. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

4/ Historical data on the presence/ absence of wolves shows that only POW, Kosciusko, and Dall islands were sufficiently large to sustain permanent packs of #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS  Protect under #ESA

.@adfg_seak no longer adjusts reported harvest with unreported and illegal kill estimated to be as high as 50% of the reported take @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS. Provide emergency #ESA protections for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves

#AlexanderArchipelagoWolves are isolated and cannot be rescued naturally by dispersal. #Extinction is imminent due to poor mgmt that has lead to severe inbreeding depression @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS necessitating emergency #ESA protections.

We & our conservation partners called on the U.S. Forest Service to take immediate steps to protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves after learning that 97% of the most recent population estimate was killed this past trapping season. dfnd.us/3jgv3US #NationalWolfAwarenessWeek
