Protect Sonoran Tortoises under the Endangered Species Act

Protect Sonoran Tortoises under the Endangered Species Act

The Issue

A recent federal petition requesting protection shows that Sonoran desert tortoises have declined by 51 percent since 1987, or about 3.5 percent annually, in monitored areas throughout the animal’s range in Arizona.

Take a stand and request that we protect our wildlife!
