If you have or know of a wildlife dependent business, please consider signing on to/forwarding this important letter. I hope all of the hyperlinks work, if not, I can forward the original message: Dear partners of the Alliance for America's Fish & Wildlife, Thank you to those that have already signed our business support letter that is circulating. If you haven't yet signed on, and represent a private sector business, then we need your help today. We all want to see the Recovering America's Wildlife Act pass and see dedicated funding flow to the states for proactive wildlife conservation. So we need to send a strong signal to Congress that our nation's economy relies on sustainable investments in conservation. Please follow this link<http://bit.ly/RAWABusinessLetter> to sign on to the letter from businesses in support of the Recovering America's Wildlife Act (H.R.3742). We hope to close the letter early next month so it can be delivered to Congress when they return from the August recess. The legislation currently has 98 bipartisan cosponsors<https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/3742/cosponsors?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%5B%22HR3742%22%5D%7D&r=1&s=1> and is poised for committee action in the House this fall. Today we are facing historic species declines that threaten Americans' quality of life, our national economy, and create regulatory uncertainty for businesses and industries, further impacting jobs and the health of our communities. The American outdoor recreation economy generates $887 billion annually, and of that, wildlife-associated recreation accounts for $140 billion. Private sector businesses in this country support wildlife conservation because healthy wildlife drives business and creates economic opportunity, especially in rural communities. Please follow the link here<http://bit.ly/RAWABusinessLetter> to view the letter, and complete the short sign-on letter form to show your support to Congress for this critically needed dedicated funding for proactive, non-regulatory fish and wildlife conservation. Please feel free to forward this along to other colleagues and contacts in the private sector. We're casting a wide net and hoping for a diverse representation of the various sectors of our economy that support fish and wildlife conservation. Thank you for your consideration and leadership in collaborative conservation.
