For fifty years, the ESA has been the “emergency room” for America’s wildlife. It brought the California Gray Whale back from the brink of extinction. It allowed Southern Sea Otters to repopulate our kelp forests. It is the lifeline for endangered Oceanic Whitetip, Scalloped Hammerhead and Soupfin sharks. The ESA works because it was fast, strict, and based on science. Add your voice to USFWS today!
