Save Wildlife In Florida

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is in the initial phases of gathering feedback on a proposal to establish a new wildlife refuge in the northern portions of America’s Everglades. Such a refuge – created with the support of local landowners – would provide priceless habitat for Florida panthers and other endangered American wildlife.

This is an unprecedented opportunity to conserve and restore large areas of interconnected wildlife habitat and working ranchlands (up to 150,000 acres) in the Northern Everglades.

Establishing the refuge would support restoration of the Florida Everglades – one of America’s most remarkable and fragile places.

But this isn’t just about protecting a unique and beautiful place. The refuge would also help preserve 88 threatened and endangered species, such as Florida panthers, Florida black bears, Everglades snail kites, whooping cranes, wood storks, eastern indigo snakes, gopher tortoises and Florida scrub jays.

Unfortunately, vocal opponents of the proposed refuge are threatening to drown out support for this important initiative.

Good News - Alaskan Wolves Saved

There is finally good news on the Alaskan wolves for which we were sharing petitions again and again. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service won't be targeting the wolves on Unimak Island for good.

Animal lovers from all over the world were worried that the wolves could have faced death this spring. Fortunately officials decided to side up with science rather than go for unjustified wolf culling.

More than 65,000 people signed up the petition to save the wolves from culling in Alaska through Defenders Of Wildlife. If you supported this cause, this is a moment of happiness and success. It is a sign for all of us, that hard work, dedication and focus does reap positive results. And these petitions that we sign are quite important and can actually help change big decisions.

You can send a thank you note to the concerned authorities for taking this action.

Please show your appreciation and write to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to thank them for this key science-based win for wolves.
