>This is a letter from Biologists to the United States Senate
>Concerning Science in the Endangered Species Act.

>The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has provided protection to our most
>threatened and endangered plants and animals for over 30 years. As new
>legislation makes its way through Congress that would weaken the ESA,
>undermine its scientific foundation, and cripple federal efforts to protect
>and preserve wildlife and their habitats, scientists' voices are critical. A
>strong, unified statement will help ensure that the science in the ESA
>remains strong.

>To sign on to the letter, go to the link provided and fill out the form. The
