About Us

We envision a Wyoming that leads the nation in exceptional and innovative wildlife management; all stakeholders are valued equally, and management decisions are driven by the best available science. As stewards of some of the most pristine wild habitat in the world, we believe that ecosystems must be managed to maximize biodiversity.

OUR MAIN PROGRAMS

Kent Nelson Bear Cub

Fighting to Permanently Protect Grizzly Bears

Grizzlies are a keystone species & are worth more alive than dead. We’re fighting to keep them wild and alive, not mounted on a wall.

Advocating for Ethical, Science-Based Management of Elk

With Chronic Wasting Disease looming, elk are too vulnerable on feedgrounds. Science, not politics, should guide management.
Kent Nelson Wolf

Returning wolves to their rightful place in Wyoming’s ecosystems

Recent regulation changes have made the majority of the state’s wolves fair game to kill – for no reason. We think that’s wrong.
Current Campaigns

Wyoming Wildlife Campaign

The Wyoming Wildlife Campaign (WWC) is dedicated to addressing and preventing animal cruelty in our state. Sparked by the wolf torture incident in Daniel, Wyoming, our Wyoming Draws the Line campaign reflects our commitment to outlawing the abuse of wild animals. Guided by the principle ‘Know where to draw the line’ from the Wyoming Cowboy Code of Ethics, we strive to embody the humane treatment of animals that is cherished by most Wyomingites.

Current Campaigns

JH Bear Solutions

JH Bear Solutions seeks to remove barriers and improve access to bear-resistant trash cans for all residents of Teton County — regardless of their financial status. We seek to empower all residents to adhere to local ordinances as well as take responsibility for their part in living alongside bears.

Program Areas

Litigation

The United States has a rich history of both wildlife and land protection. Many laws exist to protect the wildlife from special interests or industry that would wrongfully sacrifice preservation of our wildlife and wild lands for monetary gain.

Billboards

Wyoming Wildlife Advocates’ latest billboard in Cody features a photo of a grizzly with the words, “Live wildlife brings JOBS to Wyoming. Our economy needs GRIZZLIES now more than ever!” The billboard will be in place throughout the summer season.

Wildlife Guide

Welcome to Wyoming Wildlife Advocates’ Wildlife Guide – a resource to help you identify the amazing animals in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, and learn more about what makes them unique. We hope you’ll also develop.

Advocacy

Join the Worldwide Rally Against Trophy Hunting and speak out against the senseless slaughter of wildlife! Last year we held the first ever protest against trophy hunting in Wyoming. This year, we continue the tradition of telling the world.
