Help Wildlife Impacted by the BP Oil Spill

Don’t miss your chance to fight for loggerhead sea turtles! Hi Fellow Wildlife Advocates! For decades, the loggerhead sea turtle has fallen victim to loss of nesting habitat, degradation of their marine habitats, and entanglement in fishing gear. And now, the impacts of the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf have only made their habitat go from bad to worse. In fact, reports from the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA), show that 1070 sea turtles were displaced or killed from the oil spill, with 21 loggerhead sea turtles found alive and 53 dead. Currently, the U.S. government is considering whether to reclassify the loggerhead sea turtle from "threatened" to "endangered" under the Federal Endangered Species Act. This re-classification would help loggerhead sea turtles get the stronger protections they need in light of the many challenges they face. TAKE ACTION! Please take a few seconds to send in your comments in support of stronger protections for loggerhead sea turtles today: https://online.nwf.org/site/Advocacy?cmd=homepage&page=UserAction&id=1301&autologin=true&s_src=OilSpillFBCause Thanks for all you do and continue to do for wildlife! --Megan, National Wildlife Federation Action Fund
