Add another species to the growing list of disappointments under the Obama administration's implementation of the Endangered Species Act (ESA).

Despite a unanimous recommendation by scientists that the wolverine be listed as threatened under the ESA, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) has scrapped plans to protect this imperiled mammal.

**Fewer than 300 of these animals are left in the Lower 48**, mostly in the Northern Rockies. What is worse, scientists estimate that on average, no more than 35 of these animals are capable of contributing each year to future generations of wolverines being born.

Wolverines face a mounting list of threats, including habitat loss, low reproductive rates, direct and indirect trapping, and low genetic diversity.

**Tell Secretary Jewell to do the right thing and give wolverines the protection they deserve!**
