Responding to Threats to Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Endangered Species Act

John Nelson, chair of the BBC’s Conservation Committee, recently sent an eloquent letter to Representative Seth Moulton and Massachusetts Senators Edward Markey and Elizabeth Warren. In it he talks about threats to both the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and Endangered Species Act. As he points out, what is “bad for birds is almost always bad for people”. He goes on to speak about his experience as crewman on Great Lakes ore carrier on Lake Erie, which was said to be a “dead” lake at the time due to massive amounts of pollution. In closing he asks that they do “everything in your power to enforce the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, save the Endangered Species Act, and return the EPA to the purpose Congress intended—protecting our environment.”
