Yesterday, The Twilight Saga: New Moon and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse star Alex Meraz ("Paul") tweeted a video of himself and co-star Booboo Stewart ("Seth Clearwater") on the BBC giving instructions as to how to become a part of the wolfpack, and now he's in a new public service announcement video promoting the protection of wolves in the Pacific Northwest.
"Wolves in Washington state may seem like pure fantasy, but these amazing animals used to run wild across the Olympic Penninsula where the Twilight Saga takes place. Wolves were honored by the Quileute tribe at La Push and thrived for thousands of year throughout the United States, but growing human populations have nearly wiped wolves off the landscape. America's wild wolves are still being shot, poisoned, and trapped by people," he explained, promoting the efforts of Defenders of Wildlife.



The organization has posted an opportunity for Alex Meraz's fans to donate and buy a wolf t-shirt on their site. They've also added crucial information about the ecology of wolves to the site as well, and you can check out their full listing here.
