Portman, Carper, Katko, Costa Bicameral, Bipartisan Bill to Ensure Remaining Stamps to Promote Wildlife Conservation Are Sold Signed Into Law
Today, U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-OH), Ranking Member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, and Tom Carper (D-DE), Chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, and U.S. Representatives John Katko (R-NY), Ranking Member of the House Homeland Security Committee, and Jim Costa (D-CA), Member of the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Oceans & Wildlife, announced that their bicameral, bipartisan Multinational Species Conservation Funds Semipostal Stamp Reauthorization Act, which requires the U.S. Postal Service to sell the approximately 41 million remaining Saving Vanishing Species Stamps left in stock, has been signed into law. When the program began in 2011, the U.S. Postal Service printed 100 million stamps to help promote wildlife conservation.
"We owe it to our future generations to preserve our planet’s rich wildlife and natural resources so they can continue to be enjoyed,”
said Portman.
“This successful stamp program has raised millions of dollars to fund conservation without any taxpayer money. I’m proud this bicameral, bipartisan legislation has been signed into law so that we can ensure that every last stamp is sold.”
“With President Biden signing the Multinational Species Conservation Funds Stamp Reauthorization Act into law, Americans can continue to protect the at-risk species we love by purchasing postal stamps,”
said Carper.
“Supporting this program right now is critical as our world's most threatened wildlife face threats like habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. My thanks go out to Senator Portman and all supporters of this legislation for their hard work in getting this bipartisan effort across the finish line.”
