  • National Solar Energy Plan Moves Closer to Final Stages (Alt Energy Mag)
    (January 31, 2012) "If the Obama administration is to reach the goal of powering three million homes with clean energy by the year's end, it must move quickly to put in place a smart solar energy program that speeds up permitting of projects. The key is to guide development away from conflicts with wildlife and natural resources to areas with access to transmission," said Jim Lyons, Senior Director for Renewable Energy with Defenders of Wildlife. "The Interior Department's proposed solar program focuses on producing power in low-conflict and no-conflict zones and offers the best opportunity to achieve this goal. This zone-based approach is an important step toward producing energy in the right places and protecting sensitive public lands and wildlife."

    (January 27, 2012) Jamie Rappaport Clark, president and CEO of Defenders of Wildlife, served as head of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service during the Clinton administration. She is not satisfied with the PEIS released today, saying, "The administration deserves credit for the genuine effort that it made to respond to public comments.

  • 'The Grey' director Joe Carnahan: wolves win (Los Angeles Times)
    (January 20, 2012) “It’s fictional. That kind of movie is completely designed for thrill and does not reflect reality,” says Kim Delfino, California program director at Defenders of Wildlife, whose group has taken a keen interest in OR-7. “It’s highly, highly unusual for wolves to ever attack people.”

  • Arizona game officials alter course on Mexican gray wolf releases (The Republic)
    (January 20, 2012) Eva Sargent with the group Defenders of Wildlife said the softening of Arizona's no-release policy is good news for the program. "With only about 50 wolves in the wild in Arizona and New Mexico combined, more lobos need to be released or the population will likely spiral toward extinction," she said.
