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!

I am from South Florida. I was raised in the Everglades. I have learned all about the importance of the water ways.

I grew up in the middle of the Okefenokee Swamp and watched as the years have went on, the devastation it brings to the local ecosystem. It makes common sense to someone like myself who has watched the many different species, that once flourished out there, become fewer and fewer. And watched as small, but significant swamps are filled in with dirt and built upon....only to watch years later as the water regains its natural state and then we have flooding. We need to act now, before we lose this very special place and many others like it, to greed and pure outright ignorance...our future generations....as well as ourselves, need these wetlands. I call this magical swamp/wetland, home;)

Because I'm not a jerk and I care about the environment. Leave those animals and fish alone.
