From Defenders of Wildlife: Defenders of Wildlife is committed to establishing a pro-wildlife grassroots movement in New Mexico.

That is why I am so pleased to introduce you to Lisa Hummon, the new grassroots organizer in the state. Lisa’s job is to keep you informed on important battles we face for wildlife conservation and help you to get involved…

To find out how you can help, e-mail Lisa today!

Our first big fight will be to save the Endangered Species Act.  As you may already know, the U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a bill sponsored by Rep. Richard Pombo (R-CA) that would dismantle this crucial law.  Pombo’s “Wildlife Extinction” bill would gut protections for wildlife habitat, exempt pesticide application from abiding by with the law, and use taxpayer dollars to pay the private sector not to harm endangered species (instead of providing incentives to do the right thing). 

Unfortunately, New Mexico Representatives Heather Wilson (R-1st) and Steve Pearce (R-2nd) voted for the Wildlife Extinction bill.  Our one champion, New Mexico Congressman Tom Udall (D-3rd), stood strong for wildlife conservation and voted against it. Now, the battle turns to the U.S. Senate.

We have a tough fight ahead to save endangered species, and New Mexicans can help.  E-mail Lisa today to find out how you can help!

If you have an interest in getting involved, Lisa would love to hear from you. She is looking for wildlife advocates who are interested in attending events, hosting Meet Ups and house parties, writing letters to the editor of local newspapers, organizing outdoor adventures, and much more. Defenders looks forward to hearing from you.

Please drop Lisa a line to get involved in protecting wildlife -- you can make a difference!

P.S. If you'd like to speak with Lisa directly, feel free to call her at: 505-248-0118, extension #5.
