HELP LIONS, SNOW LEOPARDS AND MORE [uS members]

Dear WWF Activist,

 

Urge your members of Congress to cosponsor the Great Cats and Rare Canids

Act.

Lions, snow leopards, African wild dogs, and other wild cats and canids may

be fierce and powerful, but they are also extremely vulnerable. Worldwide,

they face serious threats from illegal hunting, habitat loss, disease, and

many other factors.

 

Last year, there was significant support in the House for a Great Cats and

Rare Canids bill. WWF thanks the many activists who urged their

representatives to support that bill and helped boost the number of

cosponsors. The debate is starting anew and a nearly identical bill has

been introduced in both chambers of Congress. Once again, we need to

demonstrate strong support for the measure by convincing many members of

Congress to become cosponsors.

 

Send a free letter urging your members of Congress to save these critically

important species.

The battle to save these animals has repercussions beyond the survival of

any single animal. As top predators, big cats and dogs are vital cogs in

their respective ecosystems, and as indicator species, their health is

linked to the health of their surroundings.
