Project Coyote
Project Coyote, a North American coalition of wildlife scientists, educators, predator- friendly ranchers and community leaders, promotes compassionate conservation and coexistence between people and wildlife.
As a national non-profit organization based in Northern California, Project Coyote works to change negative attitudes toward coyotes, wolves and other native carnivores by replacing ignorance and fear with understanding, respect and appreciation.

Sanctuary for Wolfs
Mission: Wolf is a peaceful wolf sanctuary located in the remote
mountains of Colorado. Many people who visit the sanctuary are
astounded by how far removed we are from civilization. This comes
from the desire to provide our resident wolves with the most peaceful
life as possible. We have large fenced-in areas for the wolves
to call home. We experience the tragedy that results when wolves
are confined to captivity; therefore we discourage the keeping
of wolves as pets.
To ensure the wolf's survival in the wild lands of the United
States, we accept donations and have an online store. We use the
proceeds to educate the public about wolves and the importance
of habitat protection.
To this end, anyone is welcome to visit Mission: Wolf for a unique
educational experience.

America's wolves
need our help!
America's wolves were nearly eradicated in the 20th century. Now,
after a remarkable recovery in parts of the country, wolves are
once more threatened.
In the Northern Rockies… the federal government has put
forth a proposal that could lead to the slaughter of hundreds of
wolves in Idaho and Wyoming. Even Yellowstone wolves could be shot
on site if they wander outside the park's boundaries!
In Alaska… state officials continue to allow airborne
gunners to kill hundreds of wolves. Easy targets against the snow,
hundreds of wolves have been shot from above or chased to exhaustion
and then killed by aerial gunners who land and execute them at
point-blank range.
In the Southwest… misinformation and anti-wolf sentiment
runs high, with wolf recovery in Arizona and New Mexico limited
to a defined area if the wolves set up territories elsewhere, they
are captured and returned.
Defenders of Wildlife continues the fight to promote common sense
wolf management, working with federal and state officials and private
land-owners to ensure that science, not politics, guides decision-making
about the future of these American icons.

CRY OUT FOR HUMANITY IN CHINA
It's amazing that in the 20th century, when man has already gone to the
Moon and computers are globalizing knowledge, still there are in China
thousands of bears emprisoned in order to have their bile extracted that,
according to a long tradition of the chinese medicine, claiming to cure
many illnesses such as headache, kidney stones, cirrhosis, hangover and
lately used to make shampoo and aphrodisiacs. There is very limited proof
scientifically that any of this really works.

Asia Foundation
It was Jill who originally uncovered and exposed Bear Farming in China
in the early 90's, and has worked tirelessly ever since, on the ground
in China, to stop this terribly cruel practice. At a Press Conference
in Hong Kong on Monday 24th July, Animals Asia announced that it has
secured the release of 500 Moon Bears who are suffering on the worst
farms in Sichuan Province in China. Most importantly, Jill has signed
an agreement with the Chinese authorities that pledges to work towards
bringing bear farming to an end!!!
We
have just launched our new web site which has been specially
designed to help the bears - it's at: http://www.animalsasia.org There,
you can find out all about the work that we do on the ground
to help bears and other animals in China and other Asian countries
and what you can do to help. You can also follow this historic
China Bear Rescue by signing up for email updates on the site.
Please visit, and tell your friends about it!
I
am also very happy to tell you that the China Bear Rescue has
begun with the release of a significant number of bears in October!
They have had surgery to remove their implants and are on the
road to recovery.
Thank
you for caring about the bears - with the support of caring people
like you, we can set the bears free and progress our goal of
ending bear farming forever!
With
grateful thanks,
Annie, Animals Asia Foundation
