There is nothing more powerful than your voice, especially when you are speaking from the heart. 

And right now, your voice is needed.  The lives of endangered wildlife are on the line.  They need protection and they need champions like you to speak up for them.  The wolves need you.  The bears need you. The elephants need you.  The lions and giraffes need you.

And as much as they need you (us), we need them.  We need the wildlife because they give back to us and the planet.  Many of the hunted wildlife are keystone species that actually support ecosystems. Keystone species are the blueprint to help keep our ecosystems balanced and intact.  Saving them is a simple solution to help save our planet because humans benefit from healthy ecosystems as ecosystems provide us with healthy water, oxygen, and sequester carbon. 

According to report by Schmitz et al. 2023, rewilding nine wildlife species (African forest elephants, American bison, fish, gray wolves, musk oxen, sea otters, sharks, whales, and wildebeest) would contribute more than 95% of the annual requirement to achieve the global target of extracting 500 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere by 2100.  This in turn would help cap the global temperature rise at less than 1.5 degree Celsius.

Please contact your federal legislators and tell them you want to  see a ban on trophy hunting of endangered species.  It is two of the most powerful minutes of your time you can give for wildlife. To find your federal legislators, go to https://openstates.org.
