Even the stories that talk about the ESA in a positive way can have an extremely negative slant. The focus on the ever dwindling populations and the increasing threats to them can be scary and make people feel helpless. It’s critical to tell these stories, but we need some positive messages out there as well.

The SOS Coalition and its partners work hard to ensure that good news stories are also given the space they deserve in the public forum. Help us to showcase the importance of biodiversity in your local paper. Write a letter to the editor about a species sighting, about your support for the ESA or about why you feel the web of life in this province is of great significance.
