Their survival is in our hands - we can’t afford to fail them. That’s why we’re launching a brand-new initiative to save the wildlife in the greatest danger: endangered animals like wolves, polar bears, ocelots and so many more. The Save Our Species Response Fund is now active: [In honor of Endangered Species Day on May 17, make your contribution to build the last line of defense for animals on the brink of extinction, and your gift will be MATCHED up to $50,000 to double your impact!]( Defender, I need you with me right now. We’re taking on some of the most powerful enemies wildlife have ever faced – including extremists in Congress: - Last year saw a record-breaking string of attacks on the Endangered Species Act, averaging more than one anti-wildlife bill a week. - Grizzly bears just outside of Yellowstone could be killed if hateful legislation moves forward. - Rep. Lauren Boebert’s so-called “Trust the Science Act” aims to strip ESA protections from gray wolves across the country – and the House just voted to approve it. [FIGHT BACK FOR ENDANGERED SPECIES]( We have a chance to stop these attacks and make things right for wildlife. Endangered Species Day is a rallying call to break the cycle of death and destruction for our most imperiled animals. I believe we can stop the worst from coming to pass. Defenders and our supporters have won miraculous victories time and again – but when we win, our enemies fight back. Help us stop their assault on wildlife in its tracks. [Double your impact by pitching in today, and show that you stand on the side of endangered species!]( For the animals who need us most, and for our future generations, thanks for all you do.
