Read This...WE HAVE A PROBLEM
Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 9:02 pm
With the historic victory of Barack Obama tonight and the shift of the House and Senate toward a more progressive makeup, the nation is poised not only to reverse the terrible legacy of the Bush administration but to fundamentally re-envision environmental protection and respect for diversity of all kinds.
The Center for Biological Diversity looks forward to working with the Obama administration and the new Congress to take swift action to stem the extinction crisis, reverse the current course toward runaway global warming, and promote the cultural diversity that is the essential foundation of a fulfilling life for all peoples, plants, and animals.
Mass extinction, global warming, and erosion of diversity are the greatest threats humanity has ever faced. The time left to address them is growing short. In our 20 years advocating for wildlife, wilderness, and untamed culture, we've never before witnessed a presidential election with so much promise to actually solve these issues.
On the eve of what -- with the help of your passionate engagement as well as President Obama's -- truly could turn out to be a bold new era, all of us at the Center send our best wishes for the future. And we encourage you to keep your expectations high and ask the new administration and Congress to deliver on their promises of a radically new, life-respecting direction.
