All,

Attached for group sign-on is a letter in support of the Protect America's Wildlife and Fish In Need of Conservation Act (PAW and FIN Conservation Act), H.R. 4348<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/4348>/S. 2491<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/2491?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22S.+2491%22%5D%7D&s=2&r=1>. This critical legislation would restore vital protections for our nation's most imperiled species by repealing the Trump administration's reckless regulations gutting the Endangered Species Act.

One million species are at risk of extinction-many within decades-due to human activity, according to the May 2019 United Nations' IPBES report. Despite this grave warning, the Trump administration recently finalized dangerous regulations<https://www.fws.gov/endangered/improving_ESA/regulation-revisions.html> that undermine key portions of the Endangered Species Act-our most effective tool for protecting species threatened with extinction. In repealing these regulations, the PAW and FIN Conservation Act sides with the 90 percent of Americans who support the Endangered Species Act and want to see its protections upheld.

We hope you'll join us in supporting this important legislation by signing onto the attached letter. Please use this form<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeehYuNXbxlY9OOmxBtIchV-zuE3gffRv28dD4LrYUMsCktXg/viewform?usp=sf_link> to sign on by COB Monday, 11/18.

Thank you,
Nora
