Although it is imperfect, Oregon is lucky to have a Wolf Recovery Plan. The plan means that the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife must manage wolves with recovery in mind as they return to Oregon. We need to make sure they have the funds to do so.

Write a letter to Oregon Governor Ted Kulongoski telling him to support full funding of ODFW's wolf recovery program.

Here are some ideas for your letter:

• Wolves are just starting to return to Oregon. We need to give the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife the budget they need to make sure they are back for good.
• Fully fund the ODFW Wolf Biologist position in La Grande.
• Make sure the state is dedicating resources to a broad-based wolf education campaign so Oregonians and wolves can coexist peacefully.
• Encourage the legislature to finish their work implementing the Wolf Conservation and Management Plan.
• Encourage governors in neighboring states to fix their management plans to protect wolves.
• Anti-wolf interests have and will continue to try to weaken and undermine the state's wolf management plan.  Encourage the state to resist those efforts.
