As one of few remaining places on earth that is home to 2 unique wolf species, Ontario has an opportunity to become a world leader in wolf conservation. We need your help to make this a reality and end persecution once and for all.

Ontario had previously been recognized as one of the top 3 worst jurisdictions in the world for wolf protection. It wasn't so long ago that the province offered a bounty to reward people who killed wolves.

Following intensive campaigning and pressure from concerned citizens, the provincial government began to restrict wolf killing across the majority of wolf range in 2004, signalling a positive change in direction.

However, wolf conservation has stalled over the last few years. In the North, both wolves and coyotes are being scapegoated for moose declines, and the threatened Algonquin wolf remains unprotected throughout the majority of its suspected range in central Ontario.

Wolves require large tracts of undisturbed wilderness to behave naturally and meaningfully contribute to the ecological integrity of the Ontario wilderness.

Ban Wolf Snaring

Many other jurisdictions throughout the world have banned snares because they are cruel and indiscriminate killers. Wolf snares accidentally kill many other species, including eagles, wolverines, caribou and bears. Being homemade devices, strangling snares are exempt from the Agreement International Humane Trapping Standards. Help us ban this practice today!


We will send your letter to your MPP, the Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry, and the Minister of Environment, Conservation and Parks.
