Did you know that there are only 70 Florida panthers left on this earth?

There's no time to spare - we must act now to save our panthers, bald eagles, grizzly bears and hundreds of other endangered species before we miss our chance forever!

The Florida panther is just one of hundreds of unique species currently at risk of vanishing forever. And now the Endangered Species Act, the key law that has protected these precious life forms for the past 30 years, is on the verge of extinction as well.

Both houses of Congress and the White House are attempting to weaken the Endangered Species Act by enacting harmful legislation and policies. If Congress and the White House succeed in weakening the Endangered Species Act, it could mean bad news for Florida panthers and hundred of other species who rely on its protections to survive.

That's why several environmental organizations, including SaveOurEnvironment.org, have joined forces with endangered species champion Rep. John Dingell (D-MI) to create the Endangered Species Act Legacy Pledge. We need to get as many signatures as possible to show Congress and the President that we will not tolerate their meddling with the Endangered Species Act!

Once our endangered species are gone, we can never bring them back. Click here to sign the pledge now!

When various threats arise to the Endangered Species Act, in the form of legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate or negative administrative actions, the conservation community will be able to take the list of pledge supporters to members of Congress and let them know that their constituents support strong protections for our nation's endangered fish, plants and wildlife. We also will be sharing this list with the media to show the strong support for the Endangered Species Act.

Please take a moment to forward this on to your friends, family, and co-workers and ask them to join you and tens of thousands of others dedicated to protecting our endangered species from destruction.

Thanks so much for your help!
