Help Pass Recovering America’s Wildlife Act
The Mule Deer Foundation (MDF) needs your help to pass the bipartisan Recovering America’s Wildlife Act, scheduled for a vote this week in the U.S. House of Representatives. MDF is part of a broad coalition of organizations, businesses, state fish and wildlife agencies, and tribal nations that collectively represent millions of Americans—these groups are unified in support of the Recovering America’s Wildlife Act.
MDF is calling for all members, and those that support wild lands and wildlife to contact your Representative in the House immediately and ask for a YES vote on this critical piece of conservation legislation.
The Recovering America’s Wildlife Act would dedicate $1.3 billion to state agencies and $97.5 million to Tribal Nations every year to recover and sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations. This significant investment would benefit the more than 12,000 species of greatest conservation need identified in state wildlife action plans—including mule deer. Funding will be used to implement on-the-ground efforts such as land conservation, habitat restoration, fighting invasive species, reintroducing native species, tackling emerging wildlife diseases, and increasing conservation education and outdoor recreation.
Conservation of wildlife, and our wild places, is an investment in a clean, sustainable, and thriving economy for rural and urban communities alike. Recovering America’s Wildlife Act is good for wildlife, good for taxpayers, good for business.
Please contact your Representative now and ask them to VOTE YES for Recovering America’s Wildlife Act!
