Speak up for Thunder Basin National Grassland

Defenders of Wildlife

When wildlife is in danger, they can’t speak up for themselves—so we speak for them. The prairie dogs of Thunder Basin National Grassland in Wyoming are vital to the survival of wildlife such as mountain plovers, burrowing owls, ferruginous hawks, swift foxes, and endangered black-footed ferrets. But under a new management proposal, the U.S. Forest Service wants to scrap its current prairie dog conservation strategy and could doom the entire ecosystem. We need you to speak up for Thunder Basin National Grassland. Visit https://defenders.org/thunderbasin to help save Thunder Basin today!
