Help Save Walrus From Massive Stampede Deaths

Pacific walrus are dying by the hundreds and even thousands. Deeply dependent on disappearing Arctic sea ice for their survival, the walrus, like polar bears, are falling prey to the ravages of global warming in the Arctic. 2009 marked the third lowest Arctic summer sea ice year on record, behind only 2007 and 2008. Just this fall, drastic sea-ice loss forced thousands of walruses to move onshore in Alaska, resulting in the trampling deaths of more than 100 young walruses. Adding insult to injury, the Pacific walrus is also suffering from the industrialization of its northern home for oil and gas development.

The Pacific walrus needs your help. In response to a petition and lawsuit by the Center for Biological Diversity, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is currently considering listing the walrus under the Endangered Species Act. The public has until November 9 to call on the service to list this imperiled Arctic giant.

Please take action now to speak up for the Pacific walrus. Let the federal government know that these unique animals cannot survive without the protections of the Endangered Species Act.
