At its July meeting in Vilnius, Lithuania, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee will consider the Center’s petition to protect Glacier National Park as “In Danger” due to global warming. This protected status would trigger a legal duty for the U.S. to reduce its greenhouse gas pollution and take other measures to protect this international treasure.

Only 27 of the 150 iconic glaciers for which Glacier National Park was named now remain. Global warming has caused the melting and disappearance of all the rest, and those that are left will vanish completely by 2030 if current climate trends continue. Countless species and entire ecosystems are also at risk.

The Bush administration has vigorously opposed efforts to address global warming and protect areas like Glacier. Please send a letter today urging Secretary of Interior Dirk Kempthorne to join the rest of the world in acknowledging the scientific fact of global warming and to protect Glacier and other threatened sites.
