Anti-wildlife proposals flood Capitol Hill -- tell your elected officials to vote to protect wildlife!
Anti-wildlife Senators showed their true colors last week, as they unleashed a torrent of proposals that, if adopted, could cripple endangered species conservation efforts for years to come.
Here's just a sampling of what was proposed:
Amendment #452 by Senator Dean Heller would indefinitely delay a listing.decision on the dwindling population of greater sage-grouse under the ESA, making it all but impossible to provide federal protection for this imperiled species.
Amendment #759 by Senator Mike Lee would ban
federal protection for any endangered species whose range falls entirely within one state. Roughly half of all endangered species would fall under this exception and lose federal protection.
Amendment #606
by Senator Steve Daines would relax restrictions on trade in elephant ivory, creating further enforcement loopholes that would aggravate the poaching crisis that faces these magnificent creatures.
