As summer transitions into fall, I always feel a mix of nostalgia for long sunny days that are fading and excitement for cooler days, sandhill crane migration, and golden cottonwoods along the Rio Grande. These seasonal cycles are reassuring reminders that the wild world is dynamic, has agency and its ever-evolving renewal is healthy.

Yet, human actions have repeatedly disrupted this renewal and denied the agency of wild nature, and it’s up to us to make things right.

At Wildlife for All, we fight to ensure that all species—not just a select few—are treated with respect and protected by policies that reflect the interconnectedness of life. From wolves in the woods to birds overhead to insects underfoot, every species plays a role.

Our demand for systemic reform is critical now more than ever, as states like Wyoming infuriatingly double down on practices that threaten the lives of the animals that we hold so dear. It is only by advocating together that we can pave the way for a future where wildlife conservation respects science, public trust, and the integrity of our natural world.

I am calling on you (yes, YOU) to join us in continuing this fight. Let’s stand together to build momentum and give voice to the species that cannot speak for themselves.

For the wild,

Michelle Lute

Executive Director at Wildlife for All

Awareness Building

Picking Up Steam

Our advocacy movement is gaining attention from thought leaders and established authors in the field. A few that we wanted to call attention to are:

• The Water & Natural Resources Committee of New Mexico has asked us to present on species of greatest conservation need (SGCN) and funding. This opportunity offers us the ability to have our voices heard by legislators as subject matter experts and to contribute meaningfully to shaping future policies.
• Sharman Apt Russell, author and environmental advocate, recently dedicated a chapter to Wildlife for All in her latest book What Walks This Way, amplifying our work to hundreds of readers.
• The revised edition of Ghostwalker, by Leslie Patten, discusses systemic problems with state wildlife management, citing Wildlife for All and directly quotes Kevin Bixby, David Mattson, Jeremy Bruskotter, Sharon Negri, and other Wildlife for All advisors and activists. 
• A new book by author and journalist Brandon Keim, Meet the Neighbors, centers Wildlife for All’s solutions in a chapter as it examines animal intelligence and coexistence. 
• Crystal DiMiceli, award-winning environmental educator, podcast producer, and host of Forces for Nature and The Healthy Seas podcasts, recently highlighted us on social media as “a great resource for pro-wildlife petitions and information.”.

This attention from prominent voices strengthens our resolve. It’s a reminder of why we must stay focused and continue pushing for meaningful change. With your support, we can work towards a future where tragedies like the Wyoming snowmobile wolf killing are no longer possible.

By ensuring wildlife management reform stays at the forefront of public awareness, we can protect the animals and ecosystems that need our help most.

Have an idea on how to do so? Let’s connect! 

We want to keep this momentum going and ensure our work remains a priority for those who care about wildlife.
