1. Help Mexican Gray Wolves Recover

With only 75 Mexican gray wolves in the wild, their population continues to remain vulnerable while wildlife officials continue to stall actions that would help ensure their recovery and survival. 

Send a letter to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service asking the agency to take immediate action to save these important animals.

2. Tell Amazon.com to Stop Selling Foie Gras

Following an undercover investigation of Hudson Valley Foie Gras - the largest producer in the U.S. - Mercy for Animals is calling on Amazon.com to stop selling this cruelly produced product. 

Please sign the petition urging Amazon to take a stand against foie gras, as it has done with shark fins and other animal products.

3. Help Protect All Chimpanzees

In reponse to petitions from animal advocacy organizations the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing listing all chimpanzees (captive and wild) under the Endangered Species Act, which would end their current split-listing and greatly affect the lives of chimps used in captivity, entertainment and research. 

Please submit a comment to the FWS in support of this proposal.

1. Help Elephants at the Niabi Zoo

Former circus elephants Sophie and Babe have been kept in inadequate conditions at a zoo in Illinois that had its accreditation pulled last year due largely to its elephant exhibit. Rock Island County officials recently hired an elephant expert who recommended moving them to a facility with more space in warmer climate because of their current and anticipated health conditions. 

Please send a letter to the Rock Island County Forest Preserve Commission asking it to support the recommendations and let these two go somewhere more appropriate where they will thrive.

2. Help Protect Sharks From Finning

The National Marine Service is requesting comments on the Shark Conservation Act, which would close loopholes in the U.S. ban on shark finning, but a proposed rule that would threaten the ability of states to ban non-regulated shark fins. 

Please send a letter to the Department of Commerce asking it to ensure that states have the ability to adopt measures that will close the market for shark fins.

3. Tell Congress Elephants Need Our Support

With the price of ivory sky rocketing, elephant poaching has become a crisis and threatens their survival with an estimated 30,000 killed annually for nothing more than their tusks. Congress is considering cutting funding for the U.S. Agency for International Development Biodiversity Program by 40 percent when elephants, and other wildlife, need it the most. 

Please send a letter to Congress asking members to support conservation efforts and ensure funding for wildlife protection programs continues.
