Dear Defender, A bad batch of anti-wildlife bills could soon be voted on by your Representative. [Join us in raising your voice against these new threats!]( Congress is mounting an all-out assault on the environmental laws that protect our wildlife and communities, including the Endangered Species Act, our most effective tool for stopping extinction. Now anti-wildlife extremists are pushing forward their latest set of bills targeting our environment and the animals we love: - H.R. 764 (Sponsored by Rep. Lauren Boebert R-CO): The ironically named “Trust the Science Act” would permanently strip ESA protections from most gray wolves across the nation without a chance for judicial review. - H.R. 3397 (Sponsored by Rep. John Curtis R-UT) : The “WEST Act” would strike down a recently finalized Bureau of Land Management rule that would improve wildlife conservation across all 245 million acres of public lands. - H.R. 615(Sponsored by Rep. Rob Wittman R-VA): This bill would stop agencies from prohibiting or regulating the use of lead ammunition and fishing tackle on public lands, putting wildlife and people at risk from this highly toxic metal. - H.R. 6285 (Sponsored by Rep. Pete Stauber R-MN and Rep. Mary Peltola D-AK): “Alaska’s Right to Produce Act” would undo administration protections in the Arctic Refuge and Coastal Plain, exposing vulnerable polar bears to massive fossil fuel developments.
