Congress is attacking the Endangered Species Act (again). Here's what you need to know.

Recent administrative actions like expanding oil and gas drilling in sensitive landscapes are harming fragile wildlife habitat. But instead of strengthening species protections, Congress
is trying to weaken the Endangered Species Act -- one of our nation's most effective conservation laws. We cannot let them get away with this. Send a message to your Representative
telling them to oppose this dangerous bill that would rewrite the Endangered Species Act beyond recognition! <http://click.emails.sierraclub.org/?qs=eyJkZWtJZCI6IjFmZjkzNGY1LTA4ZTUtNGJiZC04OTMzLTk3Z

Grizzly bears are protected as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. Once numbering over 50,000 in the contiguous USA, there are currently only approximately 2,000.

Dear John,
💥 What is happening? Legislation is moving forward in Congress that would seriously undermine the Endangered Species Act. The "ESA Amendments Act" (HR 1897), sponsored by Rep. Bruce
Westerman (R-AR), would rewrite key portions of the bedrock environmental law, decreasing protections for threatened and endangered wildlife.
🤷🏻♀️ Why is this happening? The Endangered Species Act is one of the most widely supported environmental laws in America. But despite that, Trump and his allies in Congress want to
undermine it or get rid of it completely. They want to hand over our public lands to billionaire CEOs, private developers, and data centers at the expense of sensitive wildlife habitat.
This anti-wildlife legislation would extend listing timelines while fast-tracking delisting, making it harder for new endangered species to be added and easier for protected species
to be taken off. It would also allow more killing of species that are listed as "threatened," limit the ability of federal agencies to manage listed species, and narrow critical habitat
designations.
🚨 What is at stake? Since being signed into law by President Nixon in the 1970s, the Endangered Species Act has been a tremendous success. It has helped more than 99 percent of listed
species avoid extinction, with many on the road to population recovery. It's also popular across party lines -- in a recent national poll, 85 percent of Americans said they support
the implementation of the Endangered Species Act to prevent extinction.
🫵 What can we do? This bill is one of many attacks to the Endangered Species Act. We need to make sure that our Members of Congress hear us loud and clear: endangered species protections
are critical and have broad support across the country. Send a message to your Representative telling them that now is the time to stand up for the ESA and its importance to our country!
