Help support family farmers who protect endangered species habitat

From The Endangered Species Coalition:

You can help family farmers protect endangered plants and animals on their land. Please call your Member of Congress and ask them to support the Endangered Species Recovery Act and incentives for landowners to save endangered species.

Help support family farmers who protect endangered species habitat.

Congress has a great opportunity to help at-risk wildlife, with a new bill called the Endangered Species Recovery Act (S. 700/H.R. 1422). This legislation will provide farmers, ranchers, family forest owners and other landowners with the financial tools they need to protect the hundreds of endangered animal and plants.

The Senate has already passed the companion bill in the Senate Farm Bill tax package. This means that the time is ripe for the House of Representatives to move this important piece of legislation as quickly as possible.

Call your member of Congress and ask them to support the Endangered Species Recovery Act. The Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Ask for your Representative's office.

Polls show that Americans overwhelmingly support the Endangered Species Act. However, the Act is chronically under-funded in regard to recovery planning and habitat restoration--especially on private lands. More funding is needed to save America's endangered wildlife.
