From the EPA to fighting fires to protecting wildlife on wildlife refuges, our nation's environmental needs have been significantly shortchanged in recent years.
Under President Bush, budgets for public lands were so low that the Forest Service had to eviscerate programs for wildlife and research in order to fight wildfires, and some Wildlife Refuges had to close their doors for lack of funding. Critically important climate research needs went begging, year after year.
The Senate will vote soon on the Interior Department's budget in 2010. Please sign the letter below to urge adequate funding levels for federal environmental programs that have been on starvation diets for far too long.
We took action on “Restore Conservation Funding for Our National Parks”!

There MUST be enough funding in 2010
to support wildlife conservation and
research on U.S. public lands. Please..
ensure that this VITAL program is not
short-changed ever again!
