TELL YOUR REPS: Protect America’s Wildlife

Habitat loss, increasingly severe weather, and the changing climate have taken a huge toll on our nation’s wildlife. In fact, one-third of the wildlife species in America are at risk of becoming threatened or endangered. We must take measures to restore these species now, before it’s too late.

Congress is considering a bill, the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (S.1149), that would make a huge impact on protecting our at-risk species by investing in habitat conservation projects across the country. The bill will direct $1.3 billion of existing revenue annually to state-led conservation efforts, as well as $97.5 million to Tribal-led wildlife conservation plans.

This would be the most significant investment in wildlife conservation in a generation. The bill would not only provide dedicated funding for more than 12,000 species at risk of becoming threatened or endangered, but would also create jobs, grow the outdoor economy, and increase access to the outdoors.

Help protect America’s wildlife — urge your members of Congress to support the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act today.

RE: Protect America’s wildlife

To [Decision Maker],

As an avid supporter of the outdoors and your constituent, I urge you to support RAWA – the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act (S.1149). With one-third of the wildlife species in America at risk of becoming threatened or endangered, it is imperative that we take measures now to protect them.

The bill will direct $1.3 billion of existing revenue annually to state-led conservation efforts, as well as $97.5 million to Tribal-led wildlife conservation plans. This would be the most significant investment in wildlife conservation in a generation. RAWA will not only provide the resources needed to help more than 12,000 at-risk species from reaching the threatened or endangered designations, but would also create jobs and increase access to the outdoors.

Please act to protect our country’s wildlife by supporting RAWA today.

 

Sincerely,
