Our Animals Need Us to Fight Global Warming- Here’s How
Tell your senators to help our countries wildlife by passing global warming legislation. It take less than a minute of your day and doesn’t cost a thing- You’d be surprised at how much your 1 phone call can make a difference. Our senators will listen to us but we have to speak up! The links below have been provided to me by Marcia Lesky, National Director of Defenders of Wildlife. As always, check out our other blog posts on how to fight animal abuse and cruelty at It’s All About The Animals Blog.
It’s one of the most pressing issues facing our wildlife and our planet. Scientists warn that our warming climate could cause 20 - 30 percent of the Earth’s plants and animals to go extinct between now and 2050.[1]
But will the Senate take action to save these precious natural treasures?
Take action now: Tell your senators to help struggling wildlife by passing comprehensive global warming legislation.
The news is grim: Walruses by the thousands are flocking ashore as they flee retreating sea ice, abandoning their young and risking fatal stampedes that could kill thousands. Rising temperatures have causednesting colonies of rare ivory gulls to plummet by 80 percent in the last twenty years.
And global warming could very well doom polar bears to extinction in our lifetime. Vanishing sea ice is already causing these arctic icons to drown in their search for the sea ice they need for hunting and denning. Some are even resorting to cannibalism to survive as their quest for food becomes increasingly difficult.
Urge your senators to help polar bears, walruses and other wildlife struggling to survive in a warming world by passing a comprehensive global warming bill.
This week, Defenders of Wildlife and our allies delivered a letter to each member of Congress signed by more than 600 national, regional and local organizations — including sportsmen, conservation and outdoor recreation groups — urging the Senate to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and ensure that polar bears, walruses and other wildlife can survive in a warming world.
Together, these groups represent tens of millions of people from across the nation — all lending their voice for action on global warming.
With your help, we can ensure a brighter future for our wildlife — and our planet.
