Senator Thomas Carper (D-DE) has been a true champion for birds, staunchly defending the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and leading conservation efforts as a member of the Chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works.
The ESA, passed into law in 1973, is a critical lifeline to save birds and other wildlife from extinction. But for the past two decades, this critical law has been under threat from interest groups bent on relaxing wildlife protections. With species like the Greater Sage-Grouse and Marbled Murrelet rapidly declining, champions like Senator Carper have an essential role to play in bird conservation efforts.
Delaware residents: Please thank Senator Thomas Carper for his leadership in protecting our nation's birds.
