The2009-2010 Conservation Report Card covers votes on important issues such as protecting polar bears, the world’s imperiled wild feline and canine species, and California sea otters; safeguarding wildlife and habitat in sensitive borderlands; addressing the impacts of climate change on wildlife; regulating greenhouse gas emissions; upholding the Endangered Species Act; and drilling for oil off our coasts.

A more detailed online version, updated after every key vote, is available at: www.defendersactionfund.org. 1 Undermining the Endangered Species Act and Polar Bear Protections The Senate rejected an amendment that would have delayed the administrative reversal of Bush administration rule changes that weakened the Endangered Species Act and limited protections for the listed polar bear.
