[Guest guest]

Help Kit Foxes and Farmers The adorable San Joaquin kit fox is just one animal that can benefit from conservation efforts by farmers and ranchers. Please call your Senators now and encourage them to fully fund conservation programs in the Federal Farm bill. Click here to take action… Fast Facts: Seventy percent of the privately-owned land in the United States is used for ranching, forestry or agriculture. And nearly 40 percent of plant and animal species listed under the Endangered Species Act are found only on private lands.Dear Margaret, In just two minutes, you can help farmers and make a real difference for imperiled kit foxes and other wildlife on America’s farms and ranchlands. The Senate will soon consider the Federal Farm Bill and, with

it, key funding for programs that help protect wildlife, water and habitat. Help support conservation funding in the Farm Bill. Click here to call your Senators now. Today, thousands of farm and wildlife supporters from across the country will call their Senators in support of conservation funding in the Federal Farm Bill. With a vote expected next week in the Senate Agriculture Committee, we need you to add your voice to the fight -- please call your Senators now! Conservation funding in the Farm Bill is vital to America’s wildlife. Here’s why… Across America, farmers and ranchers use voluntary programs from the Farm Bill to restore land afflicted by erosion, rivers and streams harmed by

farm-related pollution, wetlands and grasslands. These activities benefit human health and are designed to help wildlife like San Joaquin kit foxes, Karner blue butterflies, sage grouse and more. The tiny and secretive San Joaquin kit fox is one of the most endangered animals in California. Funding available through the Farm Bill enables farmers and ranchers to help reconnect habitat areas so that highly imperiled San Joaquin kit foxes can survive. Unfortunately, such conservation programs remain critically underfunded, with two out of three farmers wanting to help the environment being turned down due to lack of funds. Help ensure that farmers have the resources they need to be good stewards of the land. Please call your Senators now. As always, thanks for taking the time to speak out for America’s wildlife.
