Earthjustice has partnered with the Creative Action Network calling on artists to create a body of work in honor of the embattled gray wolf. The campaign seeks to debunk negative stereotypes of the wolf, portraying the species in a playful, uplifting way and celebrating its status as an icon of the wild.

“My design was based on my own reaction to several encounters with wild wolves. In each case, I was struck by how much a part of the landscape they were, how they were just one of many indispensable aspects of the ecosystem. If you watch their behavior close enough, you get a sense that nature is rarely wasteful. I think there is a lesson in that.” Artist interview
“There´s something about wild things that really attracts me. They have amazing instincts. Wolves are wild creatures with a heightened sense of society and team work, they care about their pack like big families. That’s really impressive.” Artist interview
“Hay algo de las creaturas salvajes que realmente atrae: su increible instinto. Los lobos son seres con un gran sentido de la vida en sociedad y el trabajo en equipo, su manada funciona como una gran familia, eso es muy impresionante.” Entrevista con la artista
Join The Fight For Wolves.
This crowdsourced art campaign comes at a time when congressional leaders seek to strip protections from gray wolves and other endangered species. We must all #JoinThePack to ensure the survival of this icon of the wild.
Help protect wolves & the Endangered Species Act
Politicians in Congress are attempting to prematurely remove protections from wolves and subvert the Endangered Species Act, one of the most effective laws of the land.
Continued endangered species protections are critical to securing the recovery of wolf populations.
