[ENWL]

            23 endangered species are now extinct. Their endangered cousins 
could follow fast.

                  Twenty-three endangered species just crossed a threshold 
of no return: they are now listed as extinct. The U.S.'s largest woodpecker, 
the ivory-billed woodpecker, as well as Bachman's warbler, eight species of 
freshwater mussels, two species of fish, one species of fruit bat, and more 
have all crossed the veil into the Other Side, permanently. Worse still, 
scientists fear many more endangered species could be about to follow in 
these same ghostly, vanishing footsteps.

                  These 23 species represent what scientists who spoke to 
The Washington Post are calling "an accelerating rate of extinction" across 
the globe. And it's no mystery why this acceleration is occurring, or why 
these particular species went extinct. This is all unambiguously due to 
habitat loss and climate change. These 23 species are essentially the wild 
versions of a canary in a coal mine. With their silence, they are signaling 
the start of a terrifying new era of rapid extinctions, which is rushing 
right at us. We must heed their now-quiet call. The Biden administration 
must redouble its efforts to save the endangered species we have left, and 
strengthen policies that fight climate change!

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                  P.S. These endangered species have already disappeared. We 
have to save the other animals, and fast. Sign the petition.
