Take Action Stop the Congressional Attacks on Wildlife Before the House of Representatives left for vacation, it unleashed a brutal attack on our wildlife and environment. Several harmful amendments to the Interior spending bill took swipes at endangered Mexican gray wolves, Kemp’s Ridley sea turtles and gentle manatees. Already, more than 48,000 Defenders supporters have spoken out against these attacks. If you haven't done so already, please urge your representative to oppose these dangerous provisions. Take action now: Urge your U.S. representative to reject these anti-wildlife provisions in the Interior spending bill. Feature Helping Red Knots Each year red knots make an incredible 9,000-mile journey from as far away as the tip of South America to the Canadian Arctic. But these shorebirds are in trouble. With populations declining as much as 33 percent, the red knot may be sliding toward extinction. Join Defenders' Caitlin Leutwiler as she helps band red knots on the Jersey Shore -- and learn more about how you can help these imperiled shorebirds. Watch Caitlin's video on the Defenders Blog.
