I don't think our current…

I don't think our current ESA goes far enough to protect our numerous endangered species. By their very nature, "development" and the perceived need for "economic growth" will wipe out many fragile species.

Without a diverse ecology, we are nothing. You cannot remove the foundation and expect the structure to remain standing. It will not. The native plants, insects and the small animals that we barely notice, are the foundation of our ecosystem. We cannot survive without them.

Fortunately, climate activists are beginning to make this message clear to the general public. Please, step into this new reality as leaders in the fight to save our environment. The call to make development easier, and to slacken regulations that protect our water and vulnerable species are the old, misguided voices of the past. We simply cannot afford to act that way anymore.

For the sake of your children and your grandchildren, please strengthen our ESA to protect our endangered species.

Thank you.
