On the Brink of Extinction

Melvin has written an astounding diary over at dailykos detailing many endangered species. The biggest thing you can do to help is to contact your Senators and tell them to stop S 2110, the Crapo/Pombo gutting of the Endangered Species Act.

Also encourage them that the U.S. should ratify the Convention on Biological Diversity as many other countries have done. Please visit his diary - there is a wealth of information listed therein, including several organizations and websites devoted to this and other ecological causes.

Speaking of other ecological causes, don't forget that the East Fork Amazon Headwaters Forest needs help!
