Bush gutting the Endangered Species Act

I think the recent changes that have been made to the Endangered Species Act are just insane! To even consider removing protection of our rarest species of wildlife and natures at a time when they are already so threatened is really distressing to me because I witness first hand how hard it is for birds and wildlife to adapt and survive in todays world, with so many human obstacles and environmental changes taking place. In the past few years I have seen a decrease in the numbers of migratory birds that route their journies through here and I am affraid that President Bush's actions will eventually result in even lower counts of birds and other wildlifes due to displacement or total loss of some species.

The Endangered Species Act had been effectivly working for decades , until President Bush came along. While he has been in office, the administration has granted only 57 species endangered status. That's fewer than in any other administration in history -- and far fewer than were listed during the administrations of Reagan (253), Clinton (521) or Bush I (234). Many of our waterways , forests, and other natural heritages have been preserved and are protected as a result of provisions in the Endangered Species Act. So we will be losing much more than a few species of plants and wildlifes, by effecting the earths delicate balance that allows it to heal itself we may lose entire eco systems.

I have sent  letters to the Dept. of Interior, urging them to abandon this misguided plan.
