Action Alert: Protect the West’s wildlife corridors

This just in from Greg Haegele, Director of Conservation at the Sierra Club:

Last week governors across the West convened at the Western Governors’ Association conference in Wyoming. At this conference your governor pledged to protect the West’s most important wildlife corridors from oil and gas drilling. As you know, elk, deer, pronghorn and other wildlife require habitat protected from oil and gas drilling.

Oil and gas drilling has exploded across the West, disrupting the lives and traditions of people and wildlife here. It is time for some balance to be restored in managing our lands and resources.

How does drilling appear to wildlife? See video footage taken last week of a drilling field in Wyoming, just outside the Western Governor’s Meeting.

We now need to ask U.S. Secretary of the Interior Dirk Kempthorne to support our governors in their attempts to control drilling and protect wildlife.

Ask Secretary Kempthorne to support protections for the West’s wildlife corridors now!
