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. The small furry pika makes its home at high elevations where it enjoys the cold. When exposed to temperatures over 80 degrees, they tend to overheat and die.
Now after a long battle, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has agreed to assess whether the pika warrants protection under the Endangered Species Act! This makes the pika the first mammal outside of Alaska to be considered for protection due to threats from global warming.
Animals threatened by global warming need more protection than only one group can provide, however. Tell 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.
We took action on “Don't Let Global Warming Take Out Our Irreplaceable Wildlife”

The whole lot of life on the planet, and the life of the planet as a whole are all threatened by global warming. We cannot stand by and watch the dominoes begin to fall.

All animals need to be protected, as do trees, plants, etc. There is a purpose for their being, ecology depends on them, everything depends on them. Please help save this and all species, for they truly are vital to the entire scheme of things, all of nature needs to be for us to be, it really is that simple. Please, protect them for us, for our future, and for future generations.
