Save Our Seals: Hawaiian Monk Seals Facing Extinction
Target: Mary Glackin, Acting NOAA Administrator
Sponsored by: Marine Conservation Biology Institute
Sponsored by: Marine Conservation Biology Institute
The Hawaiian monk seal is disappearing. And because they are found only in the U.S., it is our responsibility to save them. With fewer than 1,200 individuals remaining, it is more endangered than the giant panda or the Asian elephant.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has gotten off to a good start: they created the Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery Team to coordinate the urgent response essential to the seal's recovery. But more must be done! The Recovery Team needs $7 million a year to save our seals, but NOAA has not adequately funded the plan. Meanwhile, the Hawaiian monk seal population continues to plummet.
We are facing an escalating crisis, and we need your help - today! Urge Mary Glackin, acting NOAA administrator, to show support for properly funding the Hawaiian Monk Seal Recovery Plan.

You will need to increase your budget if you intend to save this species. If you do not do this it may very well cause the monk seal to go extinct. Thank you for listening.

Gandhi said : "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated’ The way we care (or not) for animals and treat them reflect upon us and affect our image in the world. Animal cruelty is a disdain for life itself.

It is obviously clear that the amount of money you provide is not enough, and we need to save all of the species we can so our children have a planet they can rejoice in, not mourn.
