Hi John,

As Washington roils with more scandal, anti-wildlife forces are still finding time to escalate their attack on wildlife.

The latest set of bills in Congress would cripple the Endangered Species Act and condemn hundreds of animals and plants to extinction. It's despicable.

Please give now to the Endangered Species Act Protection Fund. We must keep up our fight to protect imperiled wildlife and habitat.

Just days after the world saw millions come together in defense of wildlife and our climate, far-right politicians in the House of Representatives revived more than a dozen bills attacking the Endangered Species Act.

What Trump did — and what we're already mobilizing in the streets and fighting in court to stop — was bad enough. His new rules would weaken protections for imperiled animals and plants across the country.

But that's not enough for those who would see wildlife disappear forever in order to do the bidding of greedy corporate interests.

The latest series of proposed bills would give states veto power over which species get protection. They would also weaken the scientific standards by which species are awarded protection. And they would turn over management of wildlife to states that don't have the money, power or interest to save imperiled species.

The public wants to see the Endangered Species Act strengthened, not torn apart piece by piece to allow for more drilling, mining and deforestation of critical habitat. Polar bears, monarch butterflies, wolverines and hundreds of other species need the full power of the Act to survive.

We're in the midst of an extinction crisis, and these members of Congress are putting their foot on the gas. We need your help to make sure each of these deadly bills never sees the light of day.

Please give today to the Endangered Species Act Protection Fund.
