ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT

Save the Act that saves species.

ACTION ALERT

 

Speak Up for Species

99% of species protected under the Endangered Species Act have survived and are on the path to recovery. Despite the success of our nation’s cornerstone conservation policy, the government recently rolled out changes that will fundamentally weaken its ability to save endangered and threatened species.

More than 800,000 public comments were submitted from around the country calling on the federal government to stop these changes.

Woodland Park Zoo is committed to championing the strongest Endangered Species Act possible and calls upon animal and nature lovers everywhere to tell elected officials to enact policy based on science, not economics. With your support, together we will fight for our nation’s most vulnerable animals.

 

TAKE ACTION

YOUR IMPACT

 

Thank you for supporting Woodland Park Zoo’s recent public comment gathering campaign to protect the Endangered Species Act from unnecessary regulatory action. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service public comment period has closed, but we encourage you to contact your Member of Congress about the importance of a strong Endangered Species Act.

Woodland Park Zoo thanks the more than 10,000 members of the public who commented on the necessity of a strong Endangered Species Act that is based purely on the best science available.

 

Our Mission

Land Acknowledgment
