Raise your voice to help #StopExtinction

The Endangered Species Act has prevented more than 99% of species protected by the Act from going extinct over the past four decades—including iconic species like grizzly bears, gray wolves, ocelots, and Mexican spotted owls.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration has weakened and gutted many aspects of the Act that have made it so successful in protecting imperiled wildlife and plants from extinction.

Urge President-elect Biden to take immediate steps to restore and strengthen the Endangered Species Act.

Dear President-elect Biden,

In the midst of an extinction and biodiversity crisis, the Trump administration weakened and gutted critical aspects of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) that have made it so successful in protecting imperiled wildlife and plants from extinction.

I'm calling on you to immediately take action on Day One of your administration to reverse course, redress the profound damage inflicted on the ESA, and strengthen this critical safety net for the most vulnerable species.

Specifically, I urge you to:

1.	Reverse all the Trump administration regulations that weakened the ESA and undermined protection of habitat that imperiled species need to truly recover and thrive.
2.	Issue an instructional memorandum to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) staff to take into account the reality of climate change when evaluating whether to list imperiled species and designate habitats critical to their survival. 
3.	Direct the USFWS to proactively and consistently evaluate more ESA listing petitions and internally evaluate more species for listing.
4.	Work together with Congress to provide full funding for endangered species listing and recovery efforts by the USFWS' Endangered Species Program and pass the PAW and FIN Conservation Act, which would reverse some of the Trump administration's most egregious ESA rollbacks.

The Endangered Species Act has prevented more than 99% of listed species from going extinct over the past four decades, including iconic species like grizzly bears, gray wolves, and bald eagles. Thank you for taking immediate steps to restore, strengthen, and defend the ESA.

Sincerely,
