TROPICAL FORESTS AND CORAL REEFS NEED YOUR HELP
Action deadline: immediately
A quick action on your part could have lasting positive effects for tropical forests and coral reefs -- two of the most valuable and threatened ecosystems on the planet.
A bill to protect these special habitats may come up for a vote within the next day or two as part of a package of legislation that some senators are opposing. We need to show an outpouring of support for the tropical forest and coral reef conservation bill in order to ensure that it remains in the package and that the package passes.

Urge your senators to pass the Tropical Forest and Coral Conservation Act.

hi everyone,
Please take some time to do at least a few of the actions for wild horses. Petitions are not enough, and all the org's involved in fighting this are urging that we do the actions like the BLM comment page and you can just cut and paste what you write there to an email to the BLM contact... so that is easy and fast.
Also, if you are really short on time, please make sure you do the ASPCA Action Alert... its so super fast and easy... it literally takes one minute to fill in your info if you havent done them before. If you have, enter your email address and the prefix (Ms, Mrs, etc) and hit 'take action'... and it will do it for you if you selected that your info be saved when you did one last.
Even if you have to fill the form out, its so fast and so easy it would be a shame NOT to do that one.
Thanks, please act today.

The BLM has issued a request for public comment on these proposals, and I would urge you to contact them at http://www.blm.gov/wo/st/en/prog/wild_horse_and_burro/feedback.html
or call 1-800-710-7597 to make your views heard.

Please, everyone spread the word about this! The Sago Palm plant is very toxic to cats. Cats love to eat plants, but this plant they can't have. 75% of cats that eat the plant lose their lives. The ASPCA has a poison control number- it's (888) 426-4435 Repeat:(888)426-4435 Please, if you have one of these plants, do not let your cats eat it. If you don't have cats or these plants, just help me spread the word.

Please help the wild horse issue... see the discussion for how... or go to the emails I have sent out. They need us NOW. We need to do more than sign a petition... which is all good, but the other actions are much more effective. PLEASE take a few minutes to do one or two actions, and at least the comment form to the BLM and the ASPCA Action:

Wild Horse Management online comment form:

on wolves... donate to Defenders of Wildlife, if you can, it doesnt have to be much since they still have a long fight as Wendy states below:
from Defenders:
But we still have a long fight ahead of us:
Idaho Governor C.L. Butch Otter -- who said last year that he wanted to be one of the first in the state to shoot a wolf -- immediately criticized the judge’s ruling to restore protections for wolves. Wyoming’s Governor has vowed that his state will fight the ruling.
Idaho Anti-Wolf Coalition leader Ron Gillette was even more direct, telling a local reporter that "[i]t is going to be all-out war."
(its hard to believe that there are "ANTI-WOLF" groups! argh! What a world!)
Rest assured, Defenders of Wildlife will keep fighting for wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the rest of the Northern Rockies by continuing to...
-Make the case in court to restore full protections for these endangered wolves;
-Pay for guard dogs, range riders, turbo fladry fencing and other non-lethal wolf management strategies to keep livestock and wolves safe; and
-Combat distortions and misperceptions about wolves to build tolerance and understanding for the vital role that wolves play in healthy ecosystems.

VICTORY!! Court Ruling Suspends Wolf Slaughter

From Defenders Of Wildlife:

The ruling by a district court judge in Montana temporarily halts state-condoned wolf killing and could save the lives of hundreds of wolves by stopping this fall's planned wolf sport hunting seasons in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming.

There is still a long fight ahead for the wolves and those that would help save them, but this is a very good step towards that goal.

NWF Action alert:
Clean energy means wildlife has a better life... and for us and our earth.
Big oil and their friends in Washington have us locked into a fossil fuel economy that gives us no real solution to rising energy costs or the catastrophic consequences of global warming.
I just emailed my Member of Congress to encourage them to put an end to this fossil foolery by supporting clean energy policies.
Please take a minute to encourage your Congressperson to put us on the path toward a clean energy future:
