Dear Friend,
Trump has been clear from day one that he doesn't care about protecting the environment or wildlife. Instead, he wants to make it easier for corporate billionaires (who donated millions to his campaign, by the way) to bulldoze our public lands and destroy critical wildlife habitat to increase their profits.
As I write this, Congress is actively trying to sell off vast tracts of public land to private developers to pay for corporate tax cuts.
Take a stand against Trump's attempts to dismantle foundational species protections -- send your comment to the US Fish and Wildlife Service!
Wildlife in the US is already running out of places to live, in large part due to habitat destruction. In fact, a football field-size patch of land disappears every 30 seconds to build roads, houses, pipelines, and other human development.
With over one-third of species at risk of extinction, we should be working to protect more habitat, not less. Yet the US Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed changes intended to eliminate habitat protections required by the Endangered Species Act. This is THE most serious threat to the integrity of the Endangered Species Act that we have ever seen. |
