We're sorry, this alert is no longer available. If you would like to learn more about ways you can take action, please visit NRDC Action Fund.

The short explanation of this alert was:

There are only 300 beluga whales left in Alaska's Cook Inlet -- a 77 percent decline from the 1,300 whales that thrived there in the early 1980's. Now that these whales are on the brink of extinction, the National Marine Fisheries Service is finally proposing to protect them as an endangered species.

But industry groups -- backed by all three members of Alaska's congressional delegation -- are opposed to the whale's protection.

Send a message urging the Bush Administration to give these whales a fighting chance by protecting them as endangered and designating their critical habitat.
