Wolf's Worst-Case Scenario Just Happened. Help NRDC Go to Court. Tuesday, March 24, 2009
Dear NRDC Member,

It's the worst possible news for the wolves of the Northern Rockies: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has given the green light to a Bush-era plan that will kick them off the Endangered Species list.

Please give an emergency contribution to help NRDC rush to court to defend these wolves.

Nearly 1,000 wolves from Greater Yellowstone to Glacier National Park could be caught in the cross-fire of state-sponsored wolf hunts -- and that killing could begin in just a few weeks.

The decision couldn't come at a worse time. Breeding season is here, and wolves will start giving birth in April. That means pregnant females and newborn pups will be among those gunned down.

I'm sure you share my disappointment that the Obama Administration has abandoned a science-based approach in this rush to hand wolf management back to the states.

That's why NRDC cannot stand by and let this deadly attack go unchallenged.

We're filing suit in federal court to block this flawed Bush-era policy -- a policy that will simply not stand up to scientific review. But to wage and win this life-or-death case for wolves, we need your emergency donation right
away.

We've won this fight before, thanks to your support. Last summer, NRDC and 11 other conservation groups compelled the Bush Administration to abandon its first attempt to strip wolves of their protection when we made the case
that wolf populations had not yet fully recovered.

Today, less than 6 months later, wolf populations still haven't reached biological recovery levels. In fact, over this past year, the wolf population in Yellowstone National Park declined 27 percent -- and wolf pups in the park are
dying of a yet-to-be-determined disease.

It's incumbent on Secretary Salazar to withdraw this disastrous plan and submit it to the kind of rigorous scientific review that the Obama Administration has championed on so many other environmental issues.

Otherwise, we can expect a bloodbath in the Northern Rockies. The last time wolves lost their protection, 110 of them were gunned down in 120 days -- nearly one per day.

NRDC and our partners stopped the slaughter then. And we must do it again -- before the states get their "Open Fire" orders. Idaho has plans ready to go that would wipe out more than 100 wolves in just a single area of the
state.

NRDC members and activists like you have always stood up for the wolves of the Northern Rockies when they've been threatened. That's why I'm contacting you first -- and counting on you to rally to the wolves' rescue.

Wolves have already been exterminated in 96 percent of their former range. They are making one of their last stands right now in the Northern Rockies. We can't afford to have the government drag them back to the brink of
extinction.

Please click here ( http://www.savebiogems.org/wolves/ ) to make an emergency contribution to save 1,000 wolves -- before the states have a chance to pull the trigger.

Sincerely,

Frances Beinecke
President
Natural Resources Defense Council

P.S. Most Americans are not even aware that wolves are in danger. That's why I'm counting on NRDC members and activists like you to rush to the wolf's rescue now while there is still time to save their lives.

TRADUZIONE:
Lupi, il peggiore caso è appena accaduto, aiuto NRDC bisogna ricorrere alla corte suprema.
Martedì 24 marzo 2009

Cari membri dell’NRDC

È la peggiore delle notizie per i lupi del Northern Rockies: il segretario degli interni Ken Salazar ha dato il via libera ad un piano dell’era Bush che farà si che i lupi delle montagne rocciose non rientrino più nell’elenco delle specie in via d’estinzione.

Si prega di dare un aiuto di emergenza per aiutare l’NRDC a correre in tribunale per difendere questi lupi.

Quasi 1000 lupi dal Greater Yellowstone al Glacier National Park , potrebbero essere catturati e finire sotto il fuoco incrociato di uno stato sponsorizzati alla caccia al lupo e potrebbero iniziare ad essere uccisi tra poche settimane.

La decisione non poteva arrivare in un momento peggiore. La stagione della riproduzione è qui e i lupi inizieranno a partorire i primi di aprile. Ciò significa che le femmine gravide e i cuccioli saranno tra quelli che verranno uccisi.

Sono sicuro che condividerete la mia delusione verso l’amministrazione Obama che ha abbandonato una scienza fondata sull’affronto, lasciando i lupi in mano alla gestione agli Stati.


Ecco perché l’NRDC non può restare fermo e lasciare che questo attacco mortale rimanga incontrastato.


Stiamo depositando una petizione alla corte suprema per bloccare il piano dell’era Bush. Una politica che semplicemente non sta in piedi con le revisioni scientifiche.

Abbiamo vinto questa lotta in precedenza. L’estate scorsa l’NRDC e altri undici gruppi di conservatori hanno costretto l’amministrazione Bush ad abbandonare il suo primo tentativo di togliere i lupi dal piano di protezione, quando abbiamo fatto notare che le popolazioni di lupi non erano ancora del tutto recuperate.


Oggi, meno di sei mesi dopo, i lupi, non hanno ancora biologicamente raggiunto i livelli di recupero. In effetti, nell’ultimo anno, la popolazione di lupi dello Yellowstone National Park è diminuita del 27% - e i cuccioli di lupi muoiono per malattie che non sono ancora state determinate.

E' compito del segretario Salazar ritirare questo disastroso piano presentare una revisione scientifica rigorosa all’amministrazione Obama che si è battuta per tanti altri problemi ambientali.


Altrimenti, ci possiamo aspettare un bagno di sangue nel Nord Rockies. L'ultima volta che i lupi hanno perso la loro protezione, 110 di loro sono stati uccisi in centoventi giorni -- quasi uno al giorno.


L’NRDC e i nostri compagni hanno poi interrotto il massacro. E dobbiamo farlo di nuovo. Prima che gli stati diano il loro ordine di “aprire il fuoco”. L’ Idaho ha i piani pronti per iniziare ad annientare più di cento lupi in una sola zona dello stato.

I membri dell’ NRDC e gli attivisti come voi, hanno sempre sostenuto i lupi delle montagne rocciose quando sono stati minacciati. Ecco perché vi sto contattando prima – e conto su di voi per riunirci in soccorso dei lupi.

I lupi sono già stati sterminati per il 96% delle loro gamme. Essi stanno formando uno dei loro ultimi stand proprio ora nelle northern Rockies. Non possiamo permettere che il governo li torni a portare sull’orlo dell’estinzione.

Per favore clicca qui ( http://www.savebiogems.org/wolves/ ) per effettuare un contributo di emergenza c per salvare 1.000 lupi – prima che gli Stati abbiano la possibilità di tirare il grilletto.

Saluti.

Frances Beinecke
Presidente del
Natural Resources Defense Council

P.S. la maggior parte degli americani non sono nemmeno consapevoli del pericolo che corrono i lupi. Ecco perché sto contattando i membri dell’NRDC e gli attivisti come voi così di fretta per salvare la vita ai lupi finchè siamo ancora in tempo.

e questa è la mail che è arrivata e che mi ha passato R-evolve:

VIA ABEAUTIFULLIE.ORG: Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has given the green light to a Bush-era plan that will kick the wolves of the Northern Rockies off the endagered species list, which puts nearly one-thousand wolves from Greater Yellowstone to Glacier National Park in the middle of state sponsored wolf hunts.

Urge House to Pass Anti-Horse Slaughter Bill Monday, March 30, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


From theanimalrescuesite.com:

Horses have been our trusted companions and are a historically significant part of American culture. They deserve a more dignified end to their lives than to be inhumanely slaughtered and served for dinner.

H.R. 503 would put an end to this practice by prohibiting the transport of America's horses to foreign countries for slaughter. Ask President Obama today to urge Congress to support H.R. 503!



i cavalli sono sempre stati i nostri compagni affidabili e sono storicamente parte significativa della cultura americana. Essi meritano una fine più degna della loro vita che essere disumanamente macellati e serviti per cena.

H.R. 503 vorrebbe porre fine a questa pratica per vietare il trasporto dei cavalli americani all'estero per la macellazione. Chiedete oggi al presidente Obama di sollecitare il congresso a sostenere l' H.R. 503!

se avrò mangiato un vita mia una bistecca di cavallo è tanto, da quando ho memoria non ne ho mai mangiato, mi piacerebbe tanto saper cavalcare però...

io odio la carne in generale, ma soprattutto odio che abbattano gli animali per fare delle bistecche....

mancano un pò di cose, non abbiamo aggiornato la sezione ultimamente, vi chiediamo scusa, metto le cose nuove/vecchie, appena qualcuno avrà un pò di tempo per favore le traduca....

Take Action to save America’s Fisheries Tuesday, June 23, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

America's fisheries are in serious trouble. Overfishing, wasteful bycatch and other threats are pushing our fisheries to the brink, despite decades of ever-tightening regulations.

But there is hope. This week, the Senate is considering a funding request, submitted by Florida Senator Bill Nelson, to provide $33 million to rejuvenate America's fisheries through an innovative fishery management system called "catch shares."

A vote is scheduled this week.

Please take action today to support funding to restore America's fisheries.

CO2 Levels Highest in Two Million Years Thursday, June 25, 2009
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happens when carbon dioxide levels skyrocket? Most climate scientists think they know the answer: global warming.

But to determine just how high temperatures may climb and how climate patterns may shift, researchers may need to pinpoint, for comparison, a time in our planet's past when a similar carbon dioxide jump happened.
