Letter Writing Tips
This is your letter, so write what you think or feel about wolves and wolf management. However, here are a few suggestions for ensuring your message gets through clearly:
- Stress that you believe Mexican gray wolves are an important part of the Southwest’s ecosystem.
- Ask your fellow citizens to speak up in support of Mexican gray wolves.
- Encourage public officials (by name) to support the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's actions to keep wolves in the wild and to develop a new Recovery Plan based on the best available science.
- Share the management changes that would aid in recovery.
- Include your connection with wolves and why the issue is important to you.
- Keep your letter under 300 words.
- Provide your name, address and phone number; your address and phone number will not be published with your letter, but they are usually required for confirmation in order to have your letter published.
