Last month, Representative Dennis Cardoza introduced his deceptively-named "Critical Habitat Enhancement Act," (H.R. 1299). The bill would actually weaken protections for endangered species and habitat. It would create a series of loopholes, unattainable standards, and hollow duties that would eliminate crucial habitat protections. It is not an enhancement bill; it is a destruction bill.
TAKE ACTION: Please write a personal letter to your Member of Congress asking him or her to support the Endangered Species Act. Ask them to oppose H.R. 1299, the Critical Habitat Enhancement Act, and any bill that would
weaken protection for endangered species and habitat.
Please personalize make your letter to include personal reasons why you want to protect species which are listed or in danger of extinction, or any experiences you have had with these species and their habitat.
