The Fiscal Cliff and Ohio

Originally Posted on NWF.org   |   December 19, 2012

If you’ve been reading Wildlife Promise lately, you know that the impending fiscal cliff—which includes “sequestration,” a series of automatic budget cuts that will kick in starting in January unless Congress acts—could be pretty awful for wildlife (and people, too). These cuts will have a huge and devastating impact on conservation programs that safeguard wildlife, ensure our access to clean air and water, and protect our public lands.

In case you haven’t been convinced by our blogs on how the fiscal cliff would harm Wildlife Refuges, public lands, hunting and fishing, and wetlands, among other programs, take a look at this infographic on how badly the fiscal cliff could harm just one state: Ohio, home to much of the fragile Great Lakes region.

Take Action

Don’t let our budget crisis hurt the Great Lakes! Do your part today to protect our wildlife and natural resources.
