Sadly the @adfg_seak board of game has lengthened the hunting season for Archipelago #wolves in GMU2 (Prince of Wales Island area). The hunting season begins Sept 1 this year. And here is what they are killing...mainly pups. Horrific.

Habitat loss & #climatechange are causing wildlife populations to become smaller/fragmented/isolated. Additional pressures such as hunting/trapping further reduce abundance, resulting in a cascade of negative outcomes @POTUS. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @SecDebHaaland

Hunting and trapping occur at unsustainable levels on POW, with illegal killing accounting for as much as half of human-caused mortality. Please provide emergency protection for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

An unprecedented 165 #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves were killed during the 2019-2020 trapping season after state/federal wildlife managers ignored the recommendations of their wolf management program. Protect under #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS #StopExtinction

The wolf’s low numbers, mismanagement of trapping, damage from past/future national forest logging, as well as private/state mature & old growth logging, #climatechange, and inbreeding depression, continue to threaten the #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves. @POTUS @SecDebHaaland

.@forestservice failed it's mandate to “assist in maintaining long-term sustainable wolf populations,” as required in the Tongass Forest Plan. Please provide emergency protections for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

The wolf trapping season (11/15-12/15) incredibly allows *no limit* on the number of wolves that may be taken; hunting season, open to residents and non-residents alike, allows a take of an astonishing 5 wolves. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland

.@adfg_seak no longer adjusts reported harvest with unreported and illegal kill estimated to be as high as 50% of the reported take @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS. Provide emergency #ESA protections for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves

The wolf mgmt program in GMU-2 Alaska, particularly on POW Island, is a scorched earth policy reducing a unique wolf to unacceptable levels slating them for #extinction. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves under the #ESA @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

1/The population estimates provided by @adfg_seak are not plausible. Between 2015 & 2016 the population of #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves more than double! No wolf population enumerated over the size of GMU2 has ever increased that much in one year @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

3/ Upon extrapolation more error and uncertainty are introduced as @adfg_seak assumes the total area functions as a single contiguous land mass rather than an archipelago @POTUS @SecDebHaaland Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves #StopExtinction

2/ Accuracy is further diminished as those samples are based on data from approximately 40% then extrapolated to the entirety of GMU-2, including areas that do not sustain #wolves. Protect #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves @POTUS @SecDebHaaland @USFWS

The situation for #AlexanderArchipelagoWolves on POW, AK has only declined since the making of this video. The pop. bottleneck then likely intensified severe inbreeding depression, trapping them in an #extinction vortex @SecDebHaaland Protect under #ESA
