We’re leaving Twitter because Elon Musk’s former role in the administration stands against the values we fight for — protecting nature and demanding government transparency. We won’t legitimize platforms led by those who have enabled harmful, anti-environment, and anti-democratic agendas. Our work will continue in spaces that champion truth, accountability, and the planet we all share.

🚨🚨🚨Colorado wolf recovery is now in jeopardy thanks to a new bill being introduced this week by Senator Dylan Roberts. We URGENTLY need all of our Guardians on Colorado to contact your state legislators NOW to protect Colorado’s wolf program.

🐺🐺🐺 Please help us protect wolf recovery by sending a message to your state representative and state senator to urge them to reject legislation that seeks to stop wolf reintroduction.

⚠️ They call it “produced water.” Let’s be honest — it’s not water. It’s a hazardous cocktail laced with PFAS, benzene, radioactive materials, and trade-secret chemicals the public isn’t even allowed to know about. And thanks to a federal loophole, it’s exempt from our nation’s hazardous waste laws.

📢 Today, Rebecca Sobel, campaign manager at WildEarth Guardiians, was joined by conservationists, public health professionals, parents, teachers, youth, and public officials in calling for the Water Quality Control Commission to reject industry’s toxic scheme, which would open the floodgates to produced water reuse and discharge across New Mexico.

During this current Trump Administration, there has never been a greater need for Guardians’ steadfast knowledge and leadership to protect the wildlife, wild places, and health of the American West.

We are excited to have Sean at the helm as we continue our critical work under the Trump administration. #AForceForNature

🤔 What U.S. oil company is spilling the most climate-killing methane? You may not know them…but they spill more methane than Exxon or ConocoPhillips.

Their name? Hilcorp — sued by the EPA, DOJ, Alaska, Pennsylvania, New Mexico & more.

In the last 7 months in NM alone, Hilcorp has reported 96 spills — 47 illegal air emissions + 49 liquid spills, some contaminating land & threatening our state's scarce water.

Corrosion was the #1 cause. Translation: they can’t (or won’t) maintain their equipment to prevent pollution.

👀 Stay tuned next week for more on Hilcorp (yes, it gets worse). #LeakOfTheWeek

It is possible to create a future in which wolves, cattle and ranchers coexist with minimal harm, but an approach dominated by lethal control is no path.

As this writer says, we need to reckon the sparse personal losses ranchers face in conflicts with wolves with the drastic ecological damage of hunting wolves to near extinction.

🐺 Gray wolves in the Northern Rockies won big last week. While the fight continues and wolves remain in the crosshairs of hostile state management in Montana, Idaho, and Wyoming, we're howling with hope for a new era of wolf recovery. #WolvesBelong

Meet Sean Stevens, Guardians' new Executive Director!

With the Trump Administration and Congress attacking our wildlife, public lands, and the health of our communities, we’re at a critical and existential moment for conservation. Guardians will be tenaciously holding the line for the West we love, and we are thrilled to have Sean leading the charge.

🚨 STOP the Oil & Gas Industry’s Toxic Water Scam 🚨 The Water Quality Control Commission is fast-tracking a rule that could allow dumping of toxic “produced water”—a waste byproduct of fracking—onto New Mexico’s lands, rivers, and farms.

🕘 9:00 AM
📍 The Capitol, Room 307 – Santa Fe (In-person presence matters most!)

🛑 Produced water is NOT safe—it’s laced with carcinogens, radioactive materials, and PFAS “forever chemicals.” The industry is pushing this dangerous rule while shutting the public out.

Your voice is critical. Don’t let oil and gas write New Mexico’s water future. Stand up. Speak out. This fight belongs to all of us.

Last week, a federal judge sent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service back to the drawing board to evaluate #EndangeredSpeciesAct protections for gray wolves in the West. Read more about the faulty science and unfounded conclusions the agency must now rectify, per the judge's ruling ⬇️

It's been a long journey for Asha, the wandering lobo who has been held in captivity for years. Now, she is free in the wild with her family.

Hear from Guardians' wildlife program director Chris Smith on why Asha's freedom should be celebrated across New Mexico - and wherever wolves roam. #LetAshaRoam #WolvesBelong

While Asha and her family have finally - FINALLY - been released, the fight continues to ensure that ideological anti-wolf, anti-science agitators don't compromise wolf recovery with unfounded fearmongering.

ICYMI, last week the U.S. Senate confirmed Brian Nesvik as the new Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, a move we're calling "a disaster for endangered species, native carnivores, and all those who value science-based wildlife management."

🐾 This week, the federal ruling that marked a substantial victory in the fight to defend wolves strongly rebuked the wolf-killing regimes we've seen in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming since the gray wolf was delisted in the Northern Rockies.

🐺 While Montana considers it's proposal to kill 500 wolves this season, let this ruling be a warning that wolf eradication disguised as "management" will not stand. #WolvesBelong

Our legal fight to #RelistWolves secured a tremendous win this week when a federal judge in Montana struck down a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service decision that denied Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves in the West.
