John,
Unless we act, our nation’s amphibians could soon see their wetland habitat polluted and destroyed.
The Trump Administration’s decision to remove safeguards for more than half of our nation's wetlands and millions of stream miles was a reckless decision for America’s wildlife, communities, and drinking water supply—but with your help we can restore these protections.
Please ask your member of Congress to co-sponsor the Clean Water for All Act today.
Protecting clean water is a key part of recovering our most vulnerable populations of amphibians. Salamanders are highly sensitive to water pollution because their permeable skin makes it easier for toxins to enter their bloodstream.
Some salamanders return annually to the same waters and vernal ponds that they were born in to reproduce. Without protections for small streams and wetlands, our threatened and endangered species of salamanders could be swiftly pushed to the brink of extinction.
The Clean Water for All Act would block the Trump Administration’s decision to dramatically reduce the scope of the landmark Clean Water Act’s protections. By protecting headwaters and ephemeral, seasonal, and small streams we can ensure pollution does now flow downstream into our larger rivers, lakes, and bays
Wetlands serve as critical habitat for many types of salamanders, and also clean our drinking water and absorb floodwaters. Allowing more wetlands to be drained and destroyed means more pollution and flooding downstream—and less habitat for salamander and other cherished wildlife.
Don’t let salamanders disappear: Urge your member of Congress to support the Clean Water for All Act today.
Thank you for all you do to protect vulnerable wildlife and their homes.
