During westward expansion from the mid-19th century until the early 20th century, wolves were hunted to the brink of extinction in the lower contiguous 48 states of the USA, having already been eradicated in Europe decades earlier. In late 1993 the Endangered Species Act (ESA) saved the wolf from oblivion. In 1995 Canadian wolves were reintroduced to key habitats, including the Greater Yellowstone region and the Northern Rockies, bringing uncontrolled nature once again into balance, and allowing for the return of grasses, plants, flowers, insects, birds, beaver, fish, fox, pronghorn, and other species.
In 2008 the wolf is again under attack. The removal of the wolf from the Endangered Species List (ESL) will permit massive slaughter by aerial shooting, and baiting and trapping in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. In Alaska, wolves face similar predation. Defenders of Wildlife have initiated legislation for the Protection of American Wildlife (PAW) Act to stop such atrocities. It is only through the restoration of balance in nature that all species will receive equal opportunity to survive.
All pieces come with a certificate of authenticity and will be numbered and signed by Adam Binder.
