Following is what i received:
Dear Leslee,
Just a short email to keep you up on my efforts for Burrowing Owl conservation out here in the West.
We have literally just launched a petition aimed at getting that elusive "Burrowing Owl Comprehensive Conservation Strategy" that California has promised us for the last 7 years and frankly is well over 15 years past due. We need as many people to sign our petition as possible and we will also be approaching conservation groups, institutes, etc. that would like to sign on to the official letter at an organizational level. The petition, signatures, and letter will be hand-delivered to numerous state officials in Sacramento.
All the details about the petition can be found at:
http://burrowingowlconservation.org/CAPetition.html
including multiple ways to sign as well as a form that you can download, sign, pass to friends/colleagues, and mail back to us.
If you have a Facebook account you can sign the petition and help promote the cause at:
http://apps.facebook.com/causes/petitions/584?m
Thanks for supporting my local efforts in California over the last year and helping us make that transition to a California-wide (and beyond) movement for burrowing owl conservation. Please feel free to contact me directly with any questions or details about signing on as an organization or promoting the petition.
I know how busy you must be this time of year, with the holidays upon us and all the distractions in the news and politics of the world, but this situation with the Western Burrowing Owl is reaching a point where we must do something before it is too late.
Please take a few minutes to sign the petition to help prevent further decline in Burrowing Owl numbers.
Thank you again for your support,
Larry Jordan
