Focus on Arts and Ecology

Jon,
Today, you can see thousands of majestic bald eagles across America. But just a few decades ago, they nearly went extinct. If Congress hadn’t passed conservation legislation like the Endangered Species Act in 1973, we could have lost our national symbol forever.
Please, join today’s fight against extinction. Tell your federal elected officials to stand with wildlife and to support and pass the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.

I WILL FIGHT AGAINST EXTINCTION

There’s no question that we desperately need effective conservation legislation now, Jon:

• At least 150 U.S. species have already gone extinct, and another 500 are “missing in action” and may be gone.
• Since 1973, the Endangered Species Act has helped save 99% of listed species from extinction.
• But right now, one-third of all wildlife species in America are at increased risk of extinction.

This week, we want to send 20,000 messages to Congress demanding action to address today’s wildlife crisis. Can we count on you?
Jon, the numbers show we clearly need a strong, effective Endangered Species Act. But it’s obvious that we should help recover at-risk wildlife before they’re on the brink of extinction. Will you tell your elected officials to fight for endangered and at-risk wildlife by supporting the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act?
The Endangered Species Act is like an emergency room for endangered and threatened species in dire need, like the bald eagle in 1973. The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is designed to prevent species from ever getting to the brink of extinction. We need both emergency and preventative care to ensure a future for America’s wildlife, Jon. Demand common-sense, science-based legislation to fight extinction and prevent species from becoming endangered.
Thank you for taking a stand against extinction.

P.S. If 20,000 friends of wildlife demand action to address America’s wildlife crisis, Congress won’t be able to ignore it. One last time, will you help us fight against extinction?
