Many New Actions to take! Defenders of Wildlife
One:
I need your help to save wolves in Greater Yellowstone and make sure that these magnificent animals have a lasting future in America.

Two:
Many bears are killed just for their gallbladders, which are used in traditional Asian medicines to treat a variety of illnesses. Although accepted alternatives exist in traditional medicines, demand for bear parts is soaring.
As Asian bear populations have fallen, poachers are turning to bears in the U.S. to satisfy a flourishing black market. Each year, 30,000 or more bears are killed illegally in the U.S.
I just asked my Representative to sign on as a cosponsor to the Bear Protection Act (H.R. 5534) -- bipartisan legislation that would help end this poaching plague.

Three:
The cerulean warbler -- treasured by bird lovers across the country -- is in trouble. This small, sky-blue bird's population is dropping faster than any other warbler species in the United States as habitat loss and other threats make survival more difficult.
Without serious, ongoing conservation efforts, the songs of these and many other neotropical birds may fade from America's wild places.
Urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor legislation reauthorizing the Neotropical Migratory Bird Conservation Act (H.R. 5756) to protect these birds.

Four:
There are fewer than 400 North Atlantic right whales left on earth -- and ship strikes are the number one cause of death of these magnificent marine mammals.
I just wrote my Senators and urged them to support vital legislation to save right whales.

Five:
Have you ever heard of Canada's boreal forest? It's where many of North America's birds -- including nearly 40% of North America's ducks, geese, and swans -- go to breed.
Unfortunately, this special place -- and our birds -- is increasingly threatened by logging, mining and oil and gas drilling in Canada's boreal forest.
I'm calling on Canadian officials to do more to protect this special place, and I hope you will, too.

Two NWF action alerts to do:
I just signed a petition to Congress supporting a resolution to stop the sale of public lands. I urge you to take action yourself and spread the word!

and the second one:
I thought you might be interested in speaking out against five development projects currently threatening the Western Everglades in Florida.
I just sent an email to the federal agencies in charge of approving the projects, asking them to reconsider the impact the developments might have on the area's wetlands and endangered species like the wood stork and Florida panther.

On June 6, the Climate Security Act fell short of the votes needed to keep it alive in the U.S. Senate, pushing debate on climate action to next year for a new Congress and president. The Climate Security Act was poised to make great strides in addressing the threat of global warming and helping to protect wildlife and America's natural resources.
Do you know how your senators voted?

Then tell them thanks or send a disappointment letter from the above link by selecting the representative. The letters are already done for you to send as is or to add more

HSUS campaign to stop Internet hunting. Internet hunting, also called remote-controlled hunting, uses internet technology to allow acomputer user to aim and fire a weapon, mounted on a mechanized tripod, to kill captive wildlife from hundreds or even thousands of miles away.
Please ask your legislators to support the Computer-Assisted
Remote Hunting Act (H.R. 2711/S. 2422) It only takes a minute.
Here is the link:
