Today an abundance of waterfowl and shorebirds feed, roost, and nest in wetlands where just twenty years ago there were crystallizer ponds. In 1972 these lands became part of the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. Now where vacant industrial buildings and empty parking lots could have stood, wetlands have been restored providing habitat for the endangered California clapper rail. It is a testament to what can be accomplished with vision, passion, and a little hard work.

Action Alert!

August 15, 2008 the Department of the Interior (DOI)

proposed changes that will significantly weaken the

Endangered Species Act.

During the past eight years there have been several

attempts to diminish the ability of the Act to protect species

nearing the brink of extinction.

Each of those attempts has been thwarted by public outcry.

We need to make our voices heard again! We have succeeded

in obtaining additional time to submit comments, comments are

now due by October 14, 2008.

Please visit one of the following websites as soon as possible

for additional information and to submit an electronic comment

letter to your elected officials and to Dirk Kempthorne Secretary of the DOI:

Center for Biological Diversity

National Wildlife Federation

The Endangered Species Coalition

 

We extend a heartfelt "Thanks!" to Mondy Lariz for all of his assistance in getting our website up and running again.  "Thanks Mondy!"
