Tell Secretaries Salazar and Locke: Protect Endangered Species
Dear Friend,
Over the course of eight years, the Bush administration made a number of savage changes to environmental regulations, including those that protect endangered species. Some of the worst cuts came in the twilight of the administration, as Bush officials rammed through midnight regulations that decimated protections for over 1,300 species close to extinction - including polar bears, wolves and manatees.
For example, one regulation allows federal agencies to oversee the construction of new roads and highways without ever checking with scientific experts to see if such projects would harm endangered species. Regulations like these are reckless for our environment, and they must be overturned.
The good news is that Congress has empowered Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Commerce Secretary Gary Locke to overturn these insidious regulations - but time is running out: They only have until May 9th.
I just took action and signed a petition asking Secretary Salazar and Secretary Locke to overturn every last Bush regulation that erodes protections for endangered species. I hope you will, too.
Please have a look and take action.
