Reprinted from the January Audubon Advisory
Last month, the Department of Interior announced a misguided new rule that would allow the wind industry to get 30-year permits to kill Bald and Golden Eagles. Although we had worked with the wind industry to come up with a better solution that would protect eagles while allowing wind energy to be developed, the Interior Department ignored our collaborative, negotiated solution. We asked you to write to Secretary Sally Jewell, urging her to reverse this terrible eagle-killing rule, and boy, did you ever. Over 26,800 of you have sent letters. Keep them coming! If you haven't already, you can take action at www.audubonaction.org/SaveEagles. We are exploring all options to get this decision reversed and we'll keep you updated on our progress.
