Florida Turtles Forever

From: CNAH Subject: Florida Turtles Forever Date: Wednesday, January 14, 2009, 9:03 AM NEWS RELEASE The Center for North American Herpetology St. George Island, Florida http://www.cnah.org 14 January 2009 URGENT E-MAILS NEEDED FOR FLORIDA CONSERVATION (INCLUDING TURTLES) Because of economic problems, Florida legislators are proposing an immediate suspension of one of the world's most important land protection programs. The "Florida Forever" program is the largest conservation land acquisition program in the United States; coupled with its predecessors, it has been instrumental in protecting millions of acres of habitat for one of the world's richest turtle faunas. It is vital to keep this program alive. Please e-mail Florida Governor Charlie Crist as soon as you receive this and urge him to "Please save Florida Forever" (you can use this as the Subject Line; your text can be very short). Florida's turtles will thank you. Send your email immediately to: Charlie.Crist@MyFlorida.com Thank you. Dale R. Jackson djackson@fnai.org
