John,

The Trump administration just ripped apart the Endangered Species Act, and we need your help fighting back.

Over the past four decades, the Act has become the single most important law for saving thousands of animals and plants from extinction. It's the reason the world still contains grizzly bears, wolves, sea turtles and bald eagles. And it's the reason we still have hope that polar bears won't be lost to climate change.

Tell Congress to stand up to Trump's gutting of the Endangered Species Act and defend this bedrock environmental law.

The administration's changes to the Act this week will weaken it beyond recognition. This is just a glimpse of what the new policies will do:

• "Threatened" wildlife will no longer receive any level of protection;
• The financial costs of safeguarding endangered species will now be weighed;
• Developers will be allowed to bulldoze, mine, drill and log in crucial habitat; and
• Wildlife awaiting help could face even longer life-threatening delays.

We can stop this disaster, but it's going to require pulling out every stop.

Tell your member of Congress to do everything in their power to defend wildlife and uphold the Endangered Species Act in this time of extinction crisis.
