African
Wildlife Foundation (AWF) and Care2 are partnering together to
drive support for legislation that aims to conserve
biodiversity. Will you join us?
Conserving biodiversity is not a luxury — it is
a necessity. Human communities count on
the social, economic, and ecological benefits of varied
species every single day, in ways that are easy to perceive if
you know what to look for. Wildlife directly creates economic
value in industries like tourism and
agriculture. They keep the ecosystems humans depend
on for food and water security in balance.
COVID-19 has shown us all the danger of zoonoses, or
diseases transmitted from animals to humans, which increase in
risk when unhealthy human-wildlife contact takes
place.
In communities around the world,
development and economic growth are inevitable.
Sustainability is not only compatible with economic
growth — it's required for optimized growth in the long
run. By over-pressuring our natural resources, we
risk destroying the most foundational asset that humanity
needs to thrive. By conserving them, we ensure a bright future
where we can flourish alongside biodiverse
wildlife.
There are three species
conservation bills that AWF and Care2 are joining together to
support: the Global Amphibian Protection Act of 2021, the
Critically Endangered Animals Conservation Act of 2021, and
the Captive Primate Safety Act. Will you sign the petition to urge your
congressperson to back these essential
bills?
Thank you,
