Urgent Alert re Polar Bears

From World Wildlife Conservation Action Network, this:

In only three days, on February 6, the Department of the Interior plans to move ahead with leasing nearly 30 million acres in Alaska's pristine Chukchi Sea for oil and gas activities.
Together, the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas support an estimated one-fifth of the world's polar bear population. The polar bear's existence is already threatened by the impact of climate change-induced loss of sea ice. Its chances for survival will be greatly diminished if much of its remaining critical habitat is turned into a vast oil and gas field. The Chukchi Sea lease must be halted until protective measures are in place for the polar bear.

Go to this site and TAKE ACTION! This must be done immediately.

Do it for the bears, do it for Mother, do it for survival.

Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act

This from Defenders of Wildlife:

Wildlife in our warming world got a boost last month as the Global Warming Wildlife Survival Act passed out of committee in the House of Representatives as part of a larger bill on energy and climate change. The legislation now heads to a vote the House floor. The Survival Act provides a vital first step to helping endangered Hawaiian monk seals, polar bears and other wildlife survive the harmful effects of global warming.

If you haven’t already done so, please urge your Representative to support this legislation.
