URGENT: Once again, Republicans in Congress are trying to make
it harder to protect endangered species

Once again, Republicans in Congress are trying to make it harder
to protect endangered species. Their latest anti-wildlife bill,
H.R. 7408, would gut protections for hundreds of threatened and
endangered species, among many other harmful provisions — we can’t let them do this.

Dear NRDC Action Fund
Activist,

The MAGA Congress’s assault on endangered
wildlife continues.

In addition to adding harmful
anti-environment amendments to must-pass legislation and
attempting to block or strip protections from individual species,
extremist members of Congress have now introduced a new bill,
H.R. 7408, that amounts to little more than a blatantly partisan
effort to undercut the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and make it
harder to protect imperiled wildlife and their habitats.

The ESA is our nation’s most effective
wildlife protection law, successfully preventing more than 99% of
species under its care from going extinct.

We can’t afford to let extremist MAGA
Republicans rewrite that story.

Tell Congress that you strongly oppose
any legislation that would undercut the ESA and threaten the
recovery of our most vulnerable species. ( [link removed] )

Among other harmful measures H.R. 7408, would:

* Allow the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to approve
contracts for logging projects “without regard to any other
provision of the law,” which could result in logging of old
growth forests and other sensitive habitats that are home to
at-risk species

* Gut critical federal protections for hundreds of threatened
and endangered species across the country by putting partisan
politics over science

* Claw back over a billion dollars in Inflation Reduction Act
funding dedicated to conducting critical environmental reviews
for infrastructure projects, manage vital habitat restoration,
and meet conservation goals

* Allow states to develop their own recovery plans for
species, ignoring science and severely limiting when the U.S.
Fish and Wildlife Service can designate critical habitat

As the world faces twin climate and biodiversity
crises, these protections have never been more essential. They
help to preserve functioning, intact ecosystems on which all life
— including healthy people — depends.

And with 1 million species worldwide at risk of
extinction, many within the next decade, we need to block H.R.
7408 and any other bills that would gut ESA protections and drive
imperiled wildlife ever further to the brink.

Please, urge your members of Congress to reject
dangerous legislation that threatens the survival of endangered
species — and do everything in their power to protect our
planet's most vulnerable wildlife. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for fighting with me.

Sincerely,

Katie Hobbs

Advisor, NRDC Action Fund
