Dear John,

The first round of rollbacks to the Endangered Species Act was devastating. The
latest round of attacks will irreparably harm even more critically endangered
species like Florida panthers and orcas. We need to act fast to protect endangered species. Support Friends of the Earth
with a rush $10 donation.

Last week, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the National Marine Fisheries
Service proposed a radical change that modifies the meaning of “habitat” for
endangered wildlife. This change prevents protection and restoration in areas
that need help to recover animals and plants at risk of extinction.

Habitat loss is the number one cause of species going extinct. For decades, the
federal government successfully restored areas of former and potential habitats
to support the recovery of endangered species. But now, it’s rolling back those
protections. This will only prevent species from thriving and reclaiming their
habitats.

Even more alarmingly, these changes would mean that Big Polluters could veto
critical habitat protections for endangered species, simply by claiming that it
impacts their profit margin.

We can’t let Big Polluters write their own rules and wipe out iconic wildlife in
the process. Protect endangered species with a $10 donation to Friends of the
Earth.

[[link removed]]This attempt to gut the ESA is an underhanded attack to dismantle our nation’s
bedrock environmental protections. And it can ultimately cause or exacerbate
major public health crises. Decades of scientific studies warn that habitat
destruction and biodiversity loss create a risk of zoonotic disease spillover to
human populations.

The ESA is one of the most effective tools for not only protecting wildlife, but
also human health. Undermining the ESA erodes our ability to protect against
future pandemics.

Don’t let Big Polluters gut the Endangered Species Act: Donate $10 or more now!

is already pushing species -- from corals to polar bears -- to the brink of
extinction. We need every tool available to help endangered species make it
through.

The latest rollbacks to the ESA represent yet another attempt at a blank-check
giveaway to Big Polluters. It would make it easier for them to open critical
habitats for exploitation by mining, drilling, and logging companies to destroy
already fragile wildlife habitats with impunity.

At Friends of the Earth, we’ve put together a comprehensive strategy to stop the
attacks on endangered species, habitats, and public lands -- from the Arctic
National Wildlife Refuge to the Grand Canyon.

And we’re shining a light on who is really benefiting from these attacks -- the
fossil fuel industry and its cronies in government. Together with members like
you, we’ve been able to secure and retain critical protections for the priceless
species and lands that we all cherish.

With new attacks on our wildlife and wild places coming every day, we need to
keep the pressure on. We can’t do this without you.

Help us win permanent protections for endangered species and the places they
call home. Will you stand with us?
