Please Help Protect Irreplaceable Wildlife!

As you well know, global warming is already affecting species across the globe—from polar bears in the far north to the tiny piping plover of our Atlantic coasts.

The Endangered Species Act is our nation’s most powerful safety net to protect imperiled wildlife like these from climate change and many other threats. But the Bush administration has recently proposed drastic changes that would prevent this critical safeguard from doing its job.

This new rule would cut the true experts in our federal wildlife agencies out of the picture and streamline approval for projects that could threaten sea turtles, lynx, salmon, and countless other species already struggling with the new challenges of global warming.

We cannot allow the Bush administration to cut holes in this critical safety net, just when our at-risk species need it most. The comment period is open now: Help us send the message that Americans want to keep a strong Endangered Species Act as well as a renewed commitment to protecting wildlife from climate change!

Thanks again for joining this effort and for all you do.
