Loopholes in the Endangered Species Act are killing the very animals it's supposed to protect
Sign Now
There has been a nefarious power working to undermine some of the United States' strongest protections for wild animals in need. Polar bears, right whales, and monarch butterflies are among the thousands of species designated under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for special protections. Yet, in 2008, a loophole was added to the ESA saying that climate change need not be considered when protecting endangered species. Given that all the things causing climate change are also dessimating endangered species, this kneecapped animal protection laws in a massive way!
Sign the petition and ask that Joe Biden immediately remove these dangerous changes to the ESA, and put the focus back on protecting animals from all threats!
The number one cause of animal endangerment or extinction is a loss of habitat — and when it comes to species like the polar bear, loss of their icy habitat is directly caused by a warming world. Climate change also has devastating effects on migratory animals like right whales and monarch butterflies, whose survival depends on consistent weather patterns. Our refusal as a nation to accept the realities of climate change and curb it further is literally killing us, and we are taking these blameless animals down with us. Sign on to demand the ESA is fully restored and can actually protect endangered species!
Thank you,
