Action Alert!! Threat to the Endangered Species Act
The Bush administration recently unveiled a plan that would severely weaken the Endangered Species Act: Do you want to fish for salmon and steelhead or carp?This plan would strip the requirement for independent scientific review of projects that could threaten endangered species, allowing federal agencies to make the final call on how their projects impact these species, which could leave the fox guarding the hen house. For more than 30 years, the ESA has been a safety net for plants and animals on the brink of extinction, including grizzly bears, bald eagles, and gray whales. Yet President Bush wants to gut these protections, despite ESA's overwhelming success. Now is the time to join me and Earthjustice and speak out for the Endangered Species Act.
