STOP Attacks On Beluga Whales
Governor Sarah Palin won't give wildlife a break. Last week, she announced the state of Alaska will sue to strike down Endangered Species Act protection for the imperiled Cook Inlet beluga whale. This rare white whale's population has already plummeted from thousands to just 375 in the last two decades. They will certainly go extinct if Palin has her way.

Our lawyers and scientists are already in court to block Palin's anti-polar bear actions, and we'll soon jump in to save the beluga from her reckless campaign to promote oil & gas interests. But we also need to build a groundswell of public support. Please help us now to protect beluga whales by sending a letter asking the Obama administration to oppose Palin's lawsuit.
What's At Stake
The Center for Biological Diversity - a non-profit conservation organization committed to protecting endangered species - has gone up against Governor Sarah Palin before and is gearing up to do it again. Last August, after we won federal protection for the polar bear, Palin filed suit to strike the protections down in order to make things easier for Big Oil in the Arctic.
Cook Inlet beluga whales face serious threats from oil and gas development, pollution, gillnets, global warming, underwater seismic blasting and sonar devices. They won't survive if Palin strips away the protection of the Endangered Species Act.
