SIGN PETITION: Animals Threatened by GLOBAL WARMING Need More Protection! US Fish and Wildlife Service Protects PIKA Under ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT!

The Tiny Mountain Pika Needs More Help in the Face of a Changing Climate >" hspace="14" src="http://dingo.care2.com/actionalerts/takeaction.gif" width="157" border="0"> After a long battle with environmental groups, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has just agreed to assess whether the pika warrants protection under the Endangered Species Act. This makes the pika the first mammal outside of Alaska to be considered for protection due to threats from global warming. Animals threatened by global warming need more protection than only one group can provide, however. Take action >> The small furry pika makes its home at high elevations where it enjoys the cold. When exposed to temperatures over 80 degrees, they tend to overheat and die. Luckily, the Endangered Species Act (ESA) is our nation's most powerful safety net to protect imperiled wildlife from climate change and many other threats. But it shouldn't take court battles or a listing on the ESA for our leaders to stand up and make a difference! Please sign the Call to Care petition urging members of Congress to work together to ensure plants and animals - from the Arctic to your backyard - are protected from climate change. Sincerely, Julian & Robyn E. Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team P.S. This action is part of Irreplaceable: Wildlife in a Warming World - a unique campaign that brings together groups from the worlds of art, justice, science, and faith uniting people from all walks of life to protect wildlife from climate change.
