Protect Snow Leopards - Urge Congress to Act!

Dear [Decision maker],

As a person who is concerned about the decline of the snow leopard and other rare predators around the world, I urge you to support H.R. 1464 and S. 1033, the Great Cats and Rare Canids Act.

The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act legislation in the House (H.R. 1464) - and in the Senate (S. 1033) - is an effective mechanism to facilitate species conservation globally.

The Great Cats and Rare Canids Act will help conserve 21 rare species, including snow leopards, lions, jaguars, Ethiopian wolves, African wild dogs and other carnivores. These species are being threatened by habitat loss, poaching, disease, pollution and human-wildlife conflict and need a strong international commitment for their conservation.

Now is the time to increase the momentum and have Great Cats and Rare Canids enacted by the 110th Congress. Please do your part by supporting this important legislation.
