Hi,

Nature's gifts to our planet are the millions of species that we know and love. Many more species remain to be discovered. Unfortunately, the world is facing the greatest rate of extinction since that of the dinosaurs more than 60 million years ago.¹

Today's unprecedented global destruction and rapid reduction of wildlife populations are directly linked to human activity: deforestation, habitat loss, unsustainable agriculture, climate change, pollution, and pesticides.

The other living beings that share our planet have the same right to existence as we do. Our existence depends on theirs.

We urge you to take action to defend the Endangered Species Act, our most critical legal tool for restoring animals at risk of extinction. Over the years, the ESA has faced many challenges, such as attacks by large industries that put profits over animal life and habitat protection.

Please sign our petition and tell Congress that you support the Endangered Species Act and oppose any efforts to weaken it.

We must do everything in our power to stop the sixth great extinction that is underway. The Endangered Species Act is helping to save more than 1,600 U.S. plants, fish, and animal species. Without this key piece of legislation, future generations may never know some of the species we’ve all grown to appreciate. 

Take action now.

For our survival,

Kathleen Rogers
President
