Help Protect America's Wetlands
Target: President Obama
Sponsored by: The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
Sponsored by: The Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership
Our nation's wetlands, streams and other waters have a tremendous impact on everyone's lives. But development and draining of these areas result in the loss of an average of 80,000 acres of wetlands each year.
That is why we need 80,000 people to let the President know how important wetlands are to us. Parents want clean drinking water for their children. Families want to live without fear of their homes being flooded. Sportsmen want to protect habitat for fish and wildlife and enjoy the opportunities to hunt and fish.
Wetlands provide all these things and more. Tell the President we need to protect these areas for our future. Sign the petition today!

Living in South Carolina, I have come to truly love the estuaries, marshes and wetlands that add spectacular beauty to this state. Watching the wood storks, blue herons, pelicans and abundant wildlife within these areas is inspiring, awesome and humbling to me! Not only are wetlands vital to these wonderous creatures, they are also extremely vital to our protection against ocean surges, searise and hurricanes, which was quite evident when hurricane Katrina ripped through New Orleans and the Mississippi area. If the wetlands had been left alone in their God created state, the damage would not have been as great! We need our wetlands as much as the wildlife needs it!

I grew up in the beautiful swamps of Northern Michigan many I walked in as a child no longer exist. I miss the sounds there now of the frogs,insects,and the whippoorwills.
