The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is moving to weaken rules under the Endangered Species Act (ESA)—a law with a proven track record of success in protecting and recovering our most vulnerable birds. It continues to directly benefit nearly 100 of the country’s endangered and threatened bird species, including the Whooping Crane, California Condor, Northern Spotted Owl, Marbled Murrelet, Streaked Horned Lark, Snowy Plover, and Mount Rainier White-tailed Ptarmigan.
Please urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to reject proposals that weaken the Endangered Species Act rules. We encourage all members to send their own personal comments. The deadline to comment is Monday, December 22. You can submit your comment through National Audubon Society’s Action Center.
