Reminder: Dia de Los Lobos Rally Friday at KiMo

From the New Mexico Wilderness Alliance:

With just 23 wild Mexican Gray Wolves left in New Mexico today, now is the time to make our voices heard loud and clear. Please plan to attend and participate in an historic evening that will send a powerful message to Washington, D.C. that our wild Mexican Gray Wolves need to be protected!

Our lobos need you to speak out for them. Dia de Los Lobos is your opportunity to make your voice heard to our elected officials. Please attend this important event and send this email alert on to your friends.

FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Congressman Tom Udall (D-NM) - Invited
Rick Bass - Author (The Ninemile Wolves, The Lost Grizzlies)
David Parsons - Former Head of U.S. Fish & Wildlife Wolf Reintroduction Program
Oscar Simpson - New Mexico Wildlife Federation
Cynthia Lee Wolf - Outfitter

Answer the howl to action and be the difference in saving our lobos in New Mexico. For more information, please contact Nathan Newcomer: nathan@nmwild.org / 505-843-8696

Voices For Wolves: Leave a Voicemail for Our Lobos
Take a few minutes to call in and voice your concerns for protecting our wild Mexican Gray Wolves! Our objective is to get as many voices as possible speaking out on protecting our lobos. Call 505-333-0420 and leave a voicemail for our lobos! Tell our elected officials that they must do everything in their power to save these animals from a possible second extirpation.

Under the Bush administration the Mexican Wolf Recovery Program has become the Mexican Wolf Eradication Program. The US Fish and Wildlife Service removed 15 wolves last year without regard to their mandate to recover this critically endangered wolf under the Endangered Species Act.  Today, just 23 wolves roam freely in New Mexico.

Please be concise and short in your comments. Our objective is to create a CD of voices and present them to our congressional delegation, letting them hear, directly from you, the importance of protecting the Mexican Gray Wolf. Your message may also be used in DVD presentations that we create.

Please call (505) 333-0420 and leave a message today for our lobos!
