An icon of the desert needs your help. South and east of the Colorado River, in Arizona and Mexico, desert tortoises have roamed for millennia over the sage-green, saguaro-studded hillsides of the Sonoran Desert. Now, under threat from habitat loss, unnatural wildfires, drought and climate change, they're at risk of disappearing.
There is a "USA" petition to help them, due to the fact that they are the "Low Tort on the totem pole".
In 2010 the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service took the tortoise off the candidate species list entirely.
Please if you can sign the petition.
