Our Work to Protect the Wildlife of Greater Yellowstone

Endangered Species Act — 35 years of success

Help protect the rules that protect endangered species. The Bush administration wants to take independent, expert biologists out of the process for deciding whether proposed roads, timber sales or other projects threaten species like wolverines or grizzly bears.

Say no to this scheme by telling the Interior Department to withdraw this misguided plan.
