Dear Guardian,

Like bald eagles, alligators and pelicans? Let’s Protect the Law that Prevented their Extinction. 

Like you, we Guardians love the Earth every day. On this Earth Day, let’s show that love out loud by protecting the law that keeps our most imperiled wildlife from extinction.

The Endangered Species Act is our country’s most essential environmental law protecting plants and animals: it brought the bald eagle, our national bird, back from near extinction. Yet some members of Congress want to weaken the law and clear a path for industry to mine, log, and drill away our natural heritage. The threats to the law are very real and very serious.

The Endangered Species Act protects wildlife and their habitats from out-of-control special interests. The law requires common sense oversight of projects that might otherwise destroy irreplaceable areas and our most imperiled plants and animals. The law protects rare species like lynx and manatee from corporate greed and carelessness. And it works: the law has already saved at least 227 species from extinction. We can’t let misguided politicians undermine this important and effective law.

Tell Congress you value native wildlife, and want to see all imperiled species protected.

Extinction is non-partisan. If wolves and grizzly bears and wolverine and sage grouse are driven to extinction by corporate greed and uncontrolled climate change, they will be gone forever. Last weekend I visited Yellowstone National Park and watched wolves frolicking in the sage brush and a grizzly bear munching on a bison. Mine should not be the last generation to witness these amazing animals in the wild.

Because plants and animals do not have their own voice in Washington D.C., we must speak for them. With your support, the Endangered Species Act will remain our strongest law protecting rare plants and animals and we will continue to hold the line against extinction.

For the wild,
