Can you imagine sharing this planet with so many wonderous, biodiverse species yet only caring about your own? 

That's what's happening with a handful of anti-wildlife members of Congress. 

They're pushing H.R. 1897 — aka the ESA Amendments Act — in an attempt to dismantle the Endangered Species Act as we know it. 

For more than five decades, the Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of species under its care from extinction. 

But this bill would unravel that success and put countless species — like whales, sea turtles, wolverines, monarch butterflies, and manatees — at greater risk of disappearing forever. 

Some things this bill would do if passed:

🔺  Make it harder to protect imperiled species and their habitats
🔺  Make it easier for extractive industries to destroy nature
🔺  Preventing agencies (USFWS + NOAA Fisheries) from requiring measures to mitigate harm from federal projects
🔺  Cap the agencies' already limited funding

It's not too late to stop the bill from passing: Tell your representative to oppose this attack on the world's most successful conservation law.

Tell them to vote NO on H.R. 1897 ➡️ biodiv.us/esa
