Save Africa's Great Cats and Rare Canids

Target: U.S. Senate
Sponsored by: Care2.com

Africa's predators are under siege. Beset by habitat fragmentation, loss of prey and humans protecting their livestock -- their populations are plummeting.

No more than 23,000 lions now survive in the African wild. African wild dogs have been wiped out in some areas, and the Ethiopian wolf is on the verge of extinction.

The need for conservation of Africa's great predators is urgent -- many other animals depend on them directly or indirectly for survival. That's why your support is required for the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. The bill will assist with the conservation of over a dozen critically imperiled species around the world threatened by habitat loss, poaching, disease, pollution and human-wildlife conflict.

Urge your senators to support the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act.

Africa's great cats and rare canines are losing ground in the conservation battle. Lions, leopards, cheetahs, Ethiopian wolves and wild dogs play critical roles in African ecosystems, but their future is uncertain due to loss of habitat, disease and conflict with their human neighbors.

National parks and other protected areas play a critical role, but many of these animals live outside of parks. To survive, predators must have room to roam and hunt without clashing with human communities.

That's why I urge you to support for the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act. The bill would assist in the conservation of over a dozen critically imperiled species around the world currently threatened by habitat loss, poaching, disease, pollution and human-wildlife conflict.

Cats are my favorite animals in the WORLD! If they're gone, I don't think I could live a day in happiness. Save the cats, they keep our environment in shape and they're 100% adorable! Think of the disastrous result when the cats' prey overpopulate!

To let the great cats in the wilds of Africa disappear would be a crime to the future as yet another group of animals slides over the brink on our watch.

If you've ever been to Africa and seen these beautiful creatures in their natural environment, you'll know that you MUST do everything you can to be sure they survive.....Not only that, but they help keep Nature in balance. We cannot afford to lose these wonderful creatures. They, too, were put on this planet for a purpose. PLEASE help them to survive. We humans have this responsibility to the creatures we share this planet with.

What a terrible crime it would be to lose these magnificent cats! Humans are encroaching on their habitat and it has to be stopped before they are gone forever. The Great Cats need a voice where it counts. Please help. Sincerely, Norma Bartlett
