Protecting our beautiful world

My good friends Global Volunteers Manager Julie Costa and Dr. Mary Lundeberg, professor, writer, and wildlife photographer, who have never met each other in person, connected the other day at Mary’s website, Nature Connections. Mary’s wildlife photography led Julie to exclaim, “What a beautiful world we live in!”

Soon after hearing from Julie, a message from Jamie Rappaport Clark at Wildlife Defenders hit my inbox, and I realized that if we don’t do something to stop Congress from making its planned “devastating cuts to wildlife conservation,” our world might soon cease to be so beautiful.

Check out Mary’s stunning photos at Nature Connections and then take action: join Wildlife Defenders’ emergency campaign to preserve and protect this beautiful world.

Please speak out now. Urge Congress to stand up for America's wildlife and wild places and keep conservation off the chopping block.
