Take the Willow Project: This massive oil and gas development is poised to transform thousands of acres of polar bear habitat into a sprawling industrial nightmare of noise and pollution. We’re running out of time to save polar bears from destruction. Defenders is in court fighting to shut down the Willow Project, and we need your help! [Help stop Big Oil from sacrificing polar bears for profits! Your year-end gift now goes 4X as far to fight this threat in court – chip in today to have the greatest impact!]( The threat is real: A federal court recently ruled that construction on the Willow Project can continue this winter. If this project is completed, it will ultimately unleash 260 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. The Arctic is already thawing at an alarming rate. Those greenhouse gases will devastate habitat that polar bears and other vulnerable wildlife depend on for survival. We only have one chance to get this right – Defender, we need you with us in the fight to save our planet! [Our future is on the line.

The choice is easy. Now it’s time for us to act: Join us in standing up for vulnerable wildlife in the Arctic and beyond by making your gift today! [YES, QUADRUPLE MY GIFT FOR POLAR BEARS!]( Defender, I hope you’ll join us in fighting back against this deadly threat. These animals are counting on us – your support gives them hope!
