The
Amazon Rainforest is best known as the lush, wildly
biodiverse giant forest that helps regulate our planet's
climate. But if deforestation continues at
this rate, the rainforest will no longer be a rainforest
at all -- it will literally turn into a dry savannah.
And if savannization happens,
thousands of land mammals, including the beloved
capybara, will lose their essential habitat.
Luckily,
a new law could help save the capybara by preventing
U.S. contributions to Amazonian deforestation! Sign now to tell
Congress to finally pass the FOREST Act to stop U.S.
contributions to deforestation in the
Amazon!
While
capybaras are beloved, and many people care about their
conservation, they are at high risk for species impacts
if deforestation in the Amazon continues. The FOREST Act
would help stop illegal deforestation by prohibiting any
products linked to illegal deforestation from entering
the U.S., let alone being sold here.
Congress
must sign the FOREST Act to protect the Amazon and all
of the capybaras living in it! Sign the petition now if you
agree!
