Your Help is Needed to Save Funding for the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program

Thank you so much for jumping into action to help save the State and Tribal Wildlife Grants Program!  Thanks to your efforts, we already have more than 100 signatures!  Please help us reach our goal of 300 signatures to send a strong message of support to the Senate.  Please check out the current list of signers at the link below and continue to reach out to those who haven't yet signed. 

The US House of Representatives has proposed a massive (50%) cut to FY13 funding for theState and Tribal Wildlife GrantsProgram.  This program has already been cut by over 30% since 2010.  We understand the fiscal constraints of the country and know everyone needs to do their part.  However this large and disproportionate cut to a successful program that is preventing endangered species listings does not make economic sense.  We know that when a species has to be federally listed, costs skyrocket!  The last two years the US Senate has worked hard to restore funding to this program but only after they heard from the Teaming With Wildlife Coalition. Please consider adding your organization's name to the attached letter to the Chair and Ranking Member of the Senate Interior Appropriations Committee.  Thanks for all that you do to support fish and wildlife conservation.
