The Fish and Wildlife Service has finally agreed to grant the sage grouse the protections they deserve. I truly never imagined this outcome was possible when I started this, and it is entirely because of your commitment to the cause. Please keep watching the habitats closely to ensure these promises …

Save the sage grouse! Sign the petition now so they don’t go extinct!
Petition Background (Preamble):
Recognizing that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) already came to a decision not to add the sage grouse to the Endangered Species List, the USFWS should reconsider. It should add the bird to the List because it offers protection under the Endangered Species Act (1973).
Aware of the fact that states and farmers have agreed to help preserve the sage grouse; the birds are still endangered.
Conscious of the fact that such promises are often broken unlisted animals continue to be endangered. The economic interests of parties to these agreements such as oil and mining businesses prevail over conservation.
Taking into account that many farmers take part in the Candidate Conservation Agreement Assurance means that even if the species’ population continues to decline, participating farmers won’t be required to intensify their efforts. They are only obligated to do what was proposed initially; no more and no less.
Reaffirming that it is a viable species in Western North America not only vital for the ecosystem but for human livelihoods because the sage grouse eat the native sagebrush that would otherwise grow too much and spark wildfires that threaten grazing lands and cattle production.
Acknowledging the fact that the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada(COSEWIC) has designated the sage grouse as Endangered and added the birds to their ‘Species at Risk Act’ list.
Recalling this information, these birds are also a vital part of America’s ecological heritage , their best protection from extinction is the U.S. government..
The government should do everything in its power to keep the sage grouse from becoming extinct! It should put the sage grouse on the Endangered Species List.
Petition:
The sage grouse are one of the very few birds that reside only in North America--nowhere else in the entire world.
The government should do all in its power to keep these unique birds thriving for the sake of the ecosystem and the enjoyment of many generations to come!
I am signing this petition in order to keep the sage grouse population thriving because they are a huge part of America’s heritage and are critical for a successful ecosystem.

I have been reading the notes left on this page and feel truly humbled by how deeply you all care about the future of the sage grouse. This momentum comes entirely from your persistence and I am honestly just lucky to be helping document your collective concern.

Terrific effort, Tulasi. Wish you all the best. And glad to see Canada has designated the sage grouse as endangered. Salman (@Vancouver)
The sage grouse deserves listing on the ESA list, and states local communities, the private sector, NGOs and academic experts shoul provide complementary actions to help ensure that sage grouse populations are substantially increased to sustainable levels.
I am very much so interested in learning more about the sage grouse. How would I go about obtaining more information about the sage grouse? Would you happen to have any journal articles (peer-reviewed or personally written ones), websites (personally created or others) or suggested documentaries to share?
It is sad that there is this much ignorance towards crucial subspecies in the United States. Hopefully, people will wake up and see how important some of these species are, but just as the saying goes, you don't know what you have until it's gone.
If the western U.S. states that are home to the sage grouse really intend to do what is necessary to preserve the species, why do they oppose listing the sage grouse under the ESA?
GOD-willing, very soon the very best and enforceable animal welfare laws and regulations shall become prevalent throughout the world. May GOD-ALMIGHTY save animals from the horrors of human induced abuse, cruelty, torture, and unjustifiable neglect, and habitat destruction.

Thanks for working to save wildlife! Voluntary conservation is important but so is accountability. The ESA is our nation's preeminent wildlife protection law, and it can help reconcile landowner interests with the needs of imperiled wildlife. Reconsideration of the listing decision may well be warranted if the sage grouse continues to decline.
