SUPPORT FEDERAL FUNDING TO SAFEGUARD WILDLIFE FROM GLOBAL WARMING!

 

Help us convince Congress to make a stronger investment in protecting

California's wildlife!

 

Please join us in urging Senator Dianne Feinstein to support President Obama's request of $115 million for the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants program in the Fiscal Year 2010 budget.

 

Obama's budget request includes $40 million more than the amount proposed by Congress - specifically to incorporate global warming into State Wildlife Action Plans. 

 

The State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program is the only federal program dedicated to implementation of State Wildlife Action Plans, aimed at preventing wildlife from becoming endangered. These plans are being used across the country to prioritize and guide crucial wildlife conservation work.

 

Global warming is now the single greatest threat facing California's wildlife. The additional $40 million proposed by President Obama would give our state a jump start in integrating global warming into California's Wildlife Action Plan - helping ensure that our response to global warming is grounded in science and based on sound policy.

 

By conserving wildlife and their habitat we also protect recreational opportunities that contribute $730 billion annually and help sustain 6.5 million American jobs.
