Dear Activists,
Today, the most serious threats ever posed to the Endangered Species Act.
Dozens of legislative proposals have been introduced in this Congress to weaken and even gut the Act, one of the most successful bipartisan pieces of legislation our country has ever adopted.
One of the world’s strongest and most effective wildlife protection laws, the Endangered Species Act was enacted with overwhelming bipartisan support more than 40 years ago. This law has prevented the extinction of 99 percent of listed species, from the bald eagle to the gray whale.
Yet some members of Congress are working to undermine this incredibly effective law for the benefit of their corporate backers.
These members have added a record number of anti-wildlife measures to House and Senate appropriations bills that fund the Interior Department and other key agencies. These measures would block Endangered Species Act protections for gray wolves, sage grouse, lesser prairie chickens and other imperiled species.
