Real Birds: Center for Biological Diversity presses to save the Endangered Species Act

Conservative members in the US Congress have put the Endangered Species Act in their crosshairs, reviving the kind of ugly rhetoric used in years past by radical anti-environment politicians like Richard Pombo. They're plotting new ways to undercut the nation's most important law for saving species from extinction. We won't let that happen.

The Center for Biological Diversity will fight every gambit to weaken the Act and strip it of the funding endangered species need for survival. The CBD is testifying before Congress, dramatically ramping up their organizing work, mobilizing tens of thousands of people in defense of the Act and the animals and plants it saves, and adding important new data to the debate that show the vast majority of species protected by the Act -- from the bowhead whale to Florida's wood stork  -- are on the road to recovery and shouldn't be abandoned now.

Click here to learn about the Endangered Species Act and how it works.

During this election year ask your candidate/representative this question... With more than one-in-six species on the planet now on the brink of the extinction, do you think it's wise to cut the regulations that protect their very existence?  Especially, since biodiversity ensures our own continued existence.
