End. Species

PLEDGE

Endangered Species Act Legacy

• The United States has a long and proud tradition of respect for the earth's wildlife and natural resources.
• We have a responsibility to our children and future generations to be good stewards of our environment and to leave behind a legacy of protecting endangered species and the special places they call home.
• The strength and vitality of the human environment is inextricably linked with the health of all species and the places they live.
• Species extinction and habitat destruction are a serious threat to our own welfare. For example, nature is the source for most of our commonly-prescribed medicines and the loss of species could mean the loss of life-saving drugs.
• We have a responsibility to use the best available science to ensure we protect this legacy for future generations.
• For over 30 years, the Endangered Species Act has served as the nation's safety net for wildlife, saving hundreds of plants and animals from extinction, putting hundreds more on the path to recovery, and safeguarding the habitats on which they all depend.

NOW, THEREFORE, I, John W. Morrison, Mayor of Ashland, pledge to uphold the Endangered Species Act so it may continue to protect our plants and animals and the special places they live from the finality of extinction.

Dated this 19th day of July, 2005.

Kate Jackson, Council Chair
Barbara Christensen, City Recorder
