If

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you;
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or, being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise;

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with wornout tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breath a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on";

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings - nor lose the common touch;
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run -
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man my son!

The Cook Inlet is the most heavily populated and rapidly growing watershed in Alaska. It is also the home of the Cook Inlet beluga whale, one of the most endangered marine mammals in the world.

Save the Cook Inlet beluga. »

In the 1980s, their population numbered approximately 1,300. But the beluga's habitat has been subject to dramatic increases in offshore oil and gas development, as well as increased pollution and sewage runoff.

Today, there are only 300 Cook Inlet beluga whales left. »

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Fisheries Service wants to save the Cook Inlet beluga. On December 1, they announced a plan to designate more than 3,000 square miles of ocean as critical habitat for this highly endangered species. The plan is open to public comment, and they need to hear your support for this proposal!

Contact NOAA and let them know that designating critical habitat would be a crucial first step in protecting the Cook Inlet beluga. »

Thanks for taking action!

Save the Remaining
Cook Inlet Beluga!


Giving the Cook Inlet beluga critical habitat designation would make sure that all future development in the area would not adversely impact the population and give it the opportunity to recover.

Dear Jeffrey,

Over the last week of December, 7,384 generous wildlife supporters
contributed to help us meet our year-end fundraising goals. And 3,821
new supporters joined our Campaign to Save America's Wolves in
2010!

Thanks to the help of compassionate people like you, we've
already put the plight of our wolves front-and-center in the
Washington Post and Times Square.

For example, here's an excerpt from our op-ed that ran in
Friday's Washington Post, one of the most widely read
news outlets in the White House and at the Department of the Interior.

"This misguided action places wolves squarely in the cross hairs of their opponents across the Northern Rockies... As a former director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, I find it hard to understand why the Obama administration made this decision and why it justified it by relying on a legal opinion that has been criticized by a range of people, including academics and members of Congress."

--Jamie Rappaport Clark, Executive Vice President, Defenders of Wildlife

With the support of compassionate people like you, we were also able
to run our new video billboard ad in Times Square in front of the
estimated one million people who congregated there on New Year's
Eve.

Over the last few days, your support has helped us turn the national
spotlight on the plight of our wolves. Now we're stepping up our
efforts to restore protections for our wolves with unrelenting
advocacy in the nation's capital and in the courts, and
unparalleled on-the-ground proactive wolf conservation work.

* In Washington, DC... we've delivered more than 100,000
petitions to the Department of the Interior and are stepping up our
pressure on officials in the Interior Department and the White
House;

* In Missoula, Montana... we're facing down the Safari Club
International as the lead plaintiff in the litigation to restore
life-saving protections for wolves in the northern Rockies and
Greater Yellowstone;

* In the beautiful Sawtooth Mountains of central Idaho...
Defenders is preparing for another season helping livestock
producers use non-lethal approaches to reduce conflicts with
wolves;

* In Boise, Idaho, Helena, Montana and Cheyenne, Wyoming...
we're watchdogging state legislation and working to build
tolerance for wolves; and

* In schools and civic group meetings across the northern
Rockies... Defenders staff is working to educate the public
about the important role that wolves play in the region's
ecology.

Our fight may be far from over, but thanks to your help, it's a
fight we believe we can win. Please accept my sincere gratitude.
None of our efforts would be possible without the dedication and
support of caring people like you.

For the Wild Ones,

Rodger Schlickeisen
President
Defenders of Wildlife

The Great Coastal Places Campaign

Huge Victory Against Offshore LNG Terminal
April 19 , 2007

On Monday, April 9th, 2007 more than 2,000 Sierra Club members and other Southern California residents put on blue “Terminate the Terminal” t-shirts to attend the California State Lands Commission hearing in Oxnard. While Commissioners inside the packed hearing room listened to community leaders, public officials and concerned citizens speak out against the project, around 1,500 others, unable to squeeze into the overfilled room, waited outside in the courtyard, listening to the proceedings on speakers.

For years, Sierra Club's Great Coastal Places Campaign had worked to stop BHP Billiton’s dirty and dangerous floating Liquefied Natural Gas terminal which had been proposed to live off the coast of Oxnard and Malibu for at least the next 40 years. The terminal and its tankers would have pumped out more than 200 tons of smog-producing air pollution every year, failed to comply with federal laws designed to protect our health and safety and would have posed grave threats to migrating whales and dolphins.

At the end of that thirteen hour hearing, two of the three State Lands Commissioners, Lt Governor John Garamendi and State Controller John Chiang voted against the project giving us a major victory and setting us up for yet another win later in the week. Just three days later, when another 500 people attended the April 12th California Coastal Commission hearing in Santa Barbara, that commission too voted against the project. This second defeat left BHP Billiton’s massive and polluting “factory at sea” essentially dead in the water

It took more than three years from the first time Sierra Club members began to work on this issue to these decisive victories. And the victories were only possible because of the powerful and diverse coalition we helped created. The final hearings showed Sierra Club members, Latino groups, business leaders, union members, public officials, realtors, farm workers, community leaders and surfers standing together to stop the project. The work could not have been done without the hard work of many and this victory is one that is shared by all the people of California.
