All I can suggest is to contact and monetarily support groups such as Greenpeace: http://www.greenpeace.org/usa/
and IFAW: http://www.ifaw.org/ifaw/general/default.aspx?oid=3
which seems to be actively involved in such rescue operations.

For the long-term goals of reducing global warming and protecting the species, organizations like NRDC: http://www.nrdc.org/
and Defenders of Wildlife: http://www.defenders.org/index.php do a lot to educate people and lobby for common sense with regard to the environment. I always adopt animals to give to the young members of our family as holiday gifts. They get a stuffed buddy and an adoption certificate, and hopefully an understanding that the gift is much more than a toy, it's a promise to do everything possible to keep these endangered species from going extinct.
