Stop the Trump Administration's Hunting Expansion on Wildlife Refuges!
America's wild animals are in danger in the very places set aside to protect them.
The U.S. Department of the Interior plans to open an unprecedented number of wildlife refuges to more hunting and fishing — totaling more than 2.3 million acres of public lands across 97 national wildlife refuges and nine fish hatcheries.
Species like mountain lions, migratory birds and black bears will have their safe havens turned into death zones.
Tell Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to rescind this plan immediately.

Why is this important?
We're in the midst of Earth's sixth mass extinction — one species vanishes nearly every hour. Opening national wildlife refuges to more hunting is exactly the kind of action that is fueling the wildlife extinction crisis.
We should be working to protect animals, not making it easier for them to be gunned down. These wild animals deserve to be safe from hunting in the very places set aside to protect them.
