Encourage your Senator to contact Senator Lautenberg's office in support of his introduction of an Endangered Species Act reauthorization bill. And express your opposition to piecemeal attempts to reform of the Endangered Species Act, especially Domenici's S.1100. It is through your support that we are able to continue our work, and we hope in the end that we can prove just how we appreciate having you on our side, and the support you give us, through seeing the last wild places, and indeed entire ecosystems, protected from destruction. We'd also like to take this opportunity to ask if you are able at this time to make an additional contribution to the Southwest Center. Your support throughout the year not only helps us take on that extra lawsuit, look out for more species' survival, file one more appeal, and guarantee our laws are not whittled away, but most importantly, to see our mission of protecting and restoring the Southwest's biodiversity come to light as soon as possible.
All contributions are tax-deductible.
Again, we'd like to thank you for all of your support. Anyone who looks at the number of species that have been protected can see that since the ESA was created over 25 years ago, this is hardly the case. Of all the environmental laws in this country, the Endangered Species Act is the most effective tool we have in saving what is left. Bruce Babbitt and the politicians fueled by special interests know this and hate the ESA for the same reasons that environmentalists love it. The Endangered Species Act is Unique The ESA is unlike the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and other environmental laws for two reasons.
