Tell Congress: Don’t Let Extinction Be an Option

For the first time in 30 years, the administration is planning to convene the Endangered Species Committee, a federal panel of government officials. Why? To grant an exception from the Endangered Species Act that would allow oil and gas operations in the Gulf of Mexico.

If this moves forward, endangered marine mammals and other rare wildlife that call the Gulf home will be at grave risk and pushed closer toward extinction.
