As part of Shedd Aquarium’s efforts to advocate for the Endangered Species Act and speak out against proposed changes that will weaken its protections, Shedd Aquarium, Brookfield Zoo and Lincoln Park Zoo came together to submit a joint opinion article to the Chicago Sun-Times. Written by Dr. Bridget Coughlin, Dr. Stuart Strahl and Kevin Bell, the opinion piece discusses the importance of the Act for species preservation, what some of the proposed changes mean for animals and how each of us can help. The article directs readers to raise their voices for wildlife by signing our petition, which will ultimately be sent to federal officials: https://www.sheddaquarium.org/raiseyourvoice.
