Don't Let Global Warming Take Out Our Irreplaceable Wildlife

Target: U.S. Congress
Sponsored by: Earthjustice
The Endangered Species Act is our nation's most powerful safety net to protect imperiled wildlife, like the mountain-dwelling pika, from climate change and many other threats. But the Bush administration has recently proposed drastic changes that would prevent this critical safeguard from doing its job.

This new rule would cut the true experts in our federal wildlife agencies out of the picture and streamline approval for projects that could threaten sea turtles, lynx, salmon and countless other species already struggling with the new challenges of global warming.

How can you help? By telling Congress to save the pika and other wildlife threatened by global warming! The action is part of Irreplaceable - a unique campaign that brings together groups from the worlds of art, justice, science and faith. These groups show that people from all walks of life are uniting to protect wildlife such as gray whales, grizzly bears and whooping cranes from global warming.
deadline: Ongoing...
goal: 60,000

Dear [Decision maker],

The diversity of life on this earth is awe-inspiring and beautiful. But it is also at risk.

Mounting evidence indicates that climate change will be a major cause of extinctions, and many plants and animals are being affected already. This is an ethical, ecological, and economic problem that must be addressed - both by stemming global warming and by helping the most imperiled species.

I care about habitat, plants, and animals injured by climate change for various reasons. Some people approach this crucial issue from an ecological standpoint, others from a firm belief that our faith calls us to care about creation and the web of life, and others for economic, aesthetic, moral, or recreational reasons. Some are compelled by all these concerns.

When we damage the environment and it's inhabitants we are hurting ourselves. Once the variety of endangered species are gone, they won't come back.

It is past time that the global warming and habitat destruction issues were addressed. We do not own the land and its resources; we are their caretakers and so far we have been doing more harm than good. Please take the necessary actions to preserve this Earth for ourselves and our descendents.
