You’ve been meaning to submit your comments on the proposed gutting of the Endangered Species Act, right? Here’s a quick and easy link:

Don't let Canada lynx fade away! 🐾
There are only a few hundred Canada lynx left in the lower 48 states. New proposals would weaken Endangered Species Act protections, putting threatened and endangered species at greater risk of extinction.
