The Senate is considering Brian Nesvik for Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and we must act to stop his confirmation. As the former head of Wyoming Game and Fish, Nesvik has a long track record of anti-conservation policies, hostility toward the Endangered Species Act, and alignment with industry interests over wildlife protection. His leadership would threaten protections for endangered species, national wildlife refuges, and critical conservation programs.
Nesvik's agency failed to hold a man accountable for a brutal wolf-killing incident in 2024, issuing only a $250 fine. He has worked to weaken protections for grizzlies, wolves, and sage grouse, supported efforts to gut the ESA, and backed policies that worsen chronic wasting disease among elk. If confirmed, Nesvik will fast-track delistings, weaken federal protections, and serve industry over conservation.
