Tell the Obama Administration to Protect America's Wetlands

Every year over 80,000 acres of wetlands are destroyed in the United States. In March, the Sierra Club along with Ducks Unlimited and the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership will meet with the EPA to ask for federal protection for our nation's wetlands. At the meeting we will present this petition to show our decision makers just how much Americans want to protect our wetlands.

Please add your comments and sign our petition below to call on the Obama Administration to protect our wetlands.

Speak Out for Sea Otters, Polar Bears and Other Marine Wildlife

Right now, President Obama’s Ocean Policy Task Force is considering the future of America’s coastal ecosystems. The lives of threatened sea otters, threatened polar bears, endangered bowhead whales and other wildlife that need clean, healthy coastal waters hang in the balance.

Over-industrialization, oil spills and pollution could doom these species… unless we speak up today. I just took action to protect these amazing animals and promote responsible management of our ocean resources, and I hope you will too. Take action online at http://action.defenders.org/oceanpolicy.
