Wolves Ontario: Threatened Algonquin wolves are unprotected in most of their range

Urgent News from:  Wolves Ontario

In June, when Ontario’s eastern wolves were renamed Algonquin wolves, their at-risk status deteriorated, changing from Special Concern to Threatened. As a Threatened species, they were automatically and immediately protected across Ontario. 3 months later, most of that protection was removed.


In Ontario, a Recovery Strategy will be due for the Algonquin wolf 2 years from their listing date, on June 15th 2018.  The government has 9 months to develop a Response Statement that will outline actions that will be taken to protect and recover the species.  We will continue to ask for increased protection based on scientific research about the effects of  the 3 new closure areas on the population, and robust monitoring to determine exactly how many wolves are killed each year by hunters and trappers now exempt from the Endangered Species Act protection provisions. At the federal level, consultation is still underway to list them as a Threatened species across Canada.

Tell the government to list the wolves as Threatened across Canada.
  Please use the form to submit your comments in support of this listing. Comments are due by Oct. 4, 2016.

Under Canada’s Species At Risk Act (SARA), Threatened species require a Recovery Strategy that includes plans for all provinces where the species is found.  Algonquin wolves, or eastern wolves as they are known across Canada, live only in Ontario and Quebec.  However, the Quebec government does not have an active scientific committee assessing the status of species at risk and does not formally recognize the eastern wolf or have special regulations to protect it.  Federal listing of the wolves as Threatened will help kickstart this protection.

Please protect these wolves. All wolves have their purpose and they keep the balance of nature from becoming catastrophic and
out of control. They are definitely needed.

Wolves provide a necessary ecosystem service of keeping tree leaf eating elk and deer polulations balanced so saplings can growinto forests. We need wolves.

As the human race we have a obligation to ensure these great beings are never lost to us. If this ever happens we may as well go and kill ourselves!! We are not humans without our sisters and brothers of the forest!! They must survive!!

Protect all the wolves of Canada. We need wolves to keep our ego systems healthy. Stop catering to hunters, trappers and ranchers listen to the majority of Canadians that want to keep our wolves save and free. Our wildlife belongs to all Canadians to enjoy not to the select few that wants to destroy that what we should all cherish. STOP THE KILLINGS

I would like to start this letter with a direct quote from Matt DeMille of the OFAH. We didn't back down when the government allowed emotion to get in the way of sustainable spring bear hunt. We won't back down when it comes to demanding sound wolf and coyote management either. The OFAH's idea of management is to exterminate that which is already extinct. And as for demanding the government, well the last time I checked this was a democratic society not a dictatorship. So what gives the OFAH the right to dictate to the rest of Canada what the majority of Canadians want, the end to the needless slaughter of our wildlife. The OFAH think by not backing down and by bullying the government they will get what they want. Well the people of Canada are not backing down either or cringing to bullying tactics.
