</p>
<p style="margin:0.9em 0;margin-bottom:0.9em;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.6">By now, you probably have heard about a deeply troubling new report on biodiversity. <a href="https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mpss/c/JQE/ni0YAA/t.2rf/0KuS33_STKiHc6QBHanGYA/h1/1YMZMIV1WEcPGVuDOutOOUodpWFZvl96FcqM1XZQRASffgRrlFTzfyZozlx3NmXCn3BW2df9t25REevJ3ETidZSOS1YCmQ5KCux6agMN5Kk3azxlAFwMNU8qAQmOv3exXCWRSdUru86gKwP6NnFcQ-2FxUETBsZWISyFlRPHtaxFeHgQR5tq8xAkC0G-2FMCRscnZ6i5Xo-2F8e-2FnH7TXy4ddQhdLGoThsI1o-2FXXT-2BgY97-2FWpWzcx142Kp24u5JtymB2LJXOak8k5-2BF-2FYqtb-2BOX6RwSBn5TN5hSP-2BelLq4QHOm0rvWLI5ohpmMOPa6J9XKo4yx" style="color:#2ba6cb" target="_blank">The report</a>, published Monday by Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystems Services (IPBES) found that "around 1 million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss." The report is sad and sobering, to say the least.
</p>
<p style="margin:0.9em 0;margin-bottom:0.9em;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.6">What’s even more disturbing is that in the face of this wildlife extinction warning, the Trump Administration is preparing to finalize rules that would <b></b><b>drastically weaken the Endangered Species Act</b>, and with it our ability to protect imperiled wildlife and habitat. We expect to see the Trump Extinction Plan any day now, and we are preparing to fight it!
</p>
<p style="margin:0.9em 0;margin-bottom:0.9em;font-weight:normal;line-height:1.6">But we need your help to do so. <a href="https://u1584542.ct.sendgrid.net/mpss/c/JQE/ni0YAA/t.2rf/0KuS33_STKiHc6QBHanGYA/h2/TQq8raW4D-2FfUJzgtPOAKaanrcwi88QcpsTzJjjtSaq4PnLTVwXSwCvbgFXSLYSuUgRXktQXsDk8U0HItfcCg6ClXZyw7WeI-2Fmf8NjISuEeOcI0OQhm4PgHR7JQI9GOeprIG7hdygwrja1ItHq9jS-2B9p-2B-2FxoK0OypCVffAP8hOtE-2FKrxIXA1KWfMgIS7TRqJbiJVPzdN8uysqeSx8sfB85mUD-2BUV40zK2hRkMwscKhHiUXcT0KP0JFmThS9Z9oSbio8ZauFv5Yg0ICvSJrls14ctl3DRGXhBfYd5vGGouXlBagNncDcNGyrwLE7mmHMC2QsEuzoPcx1ufz-2B0MazZNytPTArdTECUgYzF0inVc3n0-3D" style="color:#2ba6cb" target="_blank">Can you submit a letter to the editor of your local newspaper</a>?
