“I need your help to protect wildlife in America’s Arctic from new oil and gas drilling.
Tell the federal government to remove the Arctic Ocean from the proposed offshore oil and gas leasing plan for 2012-2017. Also let the federal government know to set aside important ecological and sensitive areas if new drilling is allowed in the Arctic.
Doing so will bring us one major step closer to protecting one of our nation’s greatest treasures a vast, pristine place at the top of the world that polar bears, whales, walrus, seals, and Alaska Native communities call home. Go to http://wwf.worldwildlife.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&page=UserAction&id=465 to learn more and to take action.”

Poaching is devastating the wild tiger population.
If we are ever to realize the recovery of this magnificent species, we must stop poachers in their tracks now. Zero Poaching is more than a slogan; it is a target that we have to aim our efforts towards as a vital and urgent part of the…
