The rare and playful orcas of the Pacific Northwest urgently need your help. A
property-rights group is trying to strip away Endangered Species Act
protections for the last remaining killer whales in Puget Sound. We can't let that happen.
There are only about 86 orcas left in this population -- and they continue to face the very real threat of extinction because of pollution, climate change and food shortages. This unique population feeds on fish -- unlike other orcas -- and their salmon food source has been severely depleted.
Despite these threats, the federal government is considering a proposal by the property-rights group Pacific Legal Foundation to remove orcas from the endangered species list.
Please sign the petition today to take action and protect Puget Sound's orcas.
