Senator Chafee on NPR’s Living on Earth
In case you don't know, Senator Lincoln Chafee - the Republican Senator from Rhode Island - is one of the Senate's great conservation champions. On the Endangered Species Act, for example, where a party line vote in the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee might well mean the end of the Act as we know it, Senator Chafee has so far stood with the Democrats in refusing to support a damaging bill. For his deep commitment to a conservation ethic shared by Republican icon Teddy Roosevelt he has earned the enmity of his party and a challenger in the Republican primary.

Center for Native Ecosystems
Our mission, simply put, is to save endangered species across Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming. We play an "urgent care" role for the imperiled plants and wildlife most at risk of extinction, buying some time to figure out the long term solutions. We also work hard to recover these species, restoring them and their habitats to health. And we blog because doing so gives us a great way of keeping folks a little more plugged in to what's happening in the world of endangered species advocacy, offering some insight into what we do and how we do it, and fostering conversation among our supporters, our staff, and others.
