Provide Adequate Funds for Global Environmental Protection

 

Attention U.S. activists: Please urge your senators to push for sufficient

funding for key programs that protect animals and habitat across the globe,

including tropical forests.

 

Congress has yet to finalize the U.S. contribution for fiscal year 2007 for

the Global Environment Facility (GEF), a little known, but extremely

important, international institution that supports conservation projects

around the world.

 

The GEF has helped prevent conflicts over scarce water resources in the

Nile basin, expand the use of renewable energy in Mexico, and eliminate

dangerous pesticides in Africa.

 

Also still pending is the level of funding for implementation of the

Tropical Forest Conservation Act.

 

Now is the time to tell your senators how important these initiatives are to

you.
