Take Action!

Dear Defender of
Wildlife,

We need to act quickly to make sure Congress doesn't turn its
back on endangered species and other vulnerable wildlife!

Congress is about to act on a budget bill that covers the Endangered
Species Act (ESA), as well as other critical measures that will affect
our most vulnerable species. The House-passed budget represents the
bare minimum necessary to protect imperiled wildlife. The final
funding bill that is currently being negotiated must include the House
funding levels for the endangered species program or the results
could be disastrous.

Tell Congress: Don't leave our most vulnerable wildlife
unprotected in 2020!

In addition to critical ESA funding, the House-passed budget bill
includes two other critical provisions that need to be preserved:

*

Reversal of a Congressional ban on listing the sage-grouse under
the ESA. With sage-grouse populations dwindling in all states
where the bird is found, the Fish and Wildlife Service needs all
the tools in its toolbox to protect these iconic birds from
extinction.

*

Maintaining prohibitions for funding reckless border wall
construction. That construction will destroy some of the
nation's most pristine and diverse landscapes and public
lands. It would also wall off critically endangered wildlife
such as the jaguars, ocelots and Mexican gray wolves and harm
border communities.

The Endangered Species Act is America's most important law
protecting imperiled animals from extinction. Without the funding
provided in the House bill, hundreds of listed species could face
unnecessary and perhaps irreversible declines.

Make sure your senators and representative are on the right side of
this budget bill: Remind them right now to protect wildlife with
necessary funding in 2020!

Thank you for all you do for the wildlife you love.

Sincerely,

Robert Dewey
