Bush/Cheney: Don't Play Politics With Our Wildlife!
Target: U.S. Fish & Wildlife ServiceSponsored by: Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund
The Bush/Cheney Administration's politically-motivated draft "recovery plan" for northern spotted owls threatens to undermine years of progress in protecting these owls and the old-growth forests they need to survive.
Urge officials at the Fish & Wildlife Service to scrap the current plan and reconvene the Northern Spotted Owl Recovery Team to develop a real recovery plan that benefits the spotted owl, not just the timber industry.
There's just a few days left to take action. The Fish & Wildlife Service will only be accepting comments on this draft recovery plan until this Friday, August 24th, so thank you for standing up for the northern spotted owl today.
Read our "fast facts" about northern spotted owls and the draft "recovery plan."

We are all God's creatures, great and small. There is a balance that we ought not be destroying.

Corporations who have a vested interest in the timber being harvested should not be in charge of wildlife preservation. We need to preserve, not destroy, our old growth forests.

The environment has taken to many man-made intrusions already - let the spotted owl keep their home and don't let the greed of people stop you from doing the right thing for all of us, owls and people alike!

The current administration has but one thing in their heads...how are the shareholders going to make out? There is an old resource that we are not using to it's full potential and I am so confused why more corporations haven't gotten on the band wagon...BAMBOO!!! A renewable resource that grows faster than any plant in the world! Why touch the magnificent old growth forests when we could achieve the same from Bamboo? This country needs to think outside the box and now!

Putting corporations in charge of wildlife preservation is a great way to reduce biodiversity and impoverish most of us.
