[Donate another amount]( Hunted down by hounds. Trapped in metal clamps, struggling to break free. Lured from their dens, only to be shredded by a trophy hunterâs bullets. Black bear cubs left orphaned and alone to freeze, starve, or worse. Black bears are facing these horrors as you read this, and vulnerable grizzly bears could soon face the same fate. [Friend, we canât let the slaughter continue. Donate $27 or more today and help us reach our $4,010 goal for bears, their babies, and the planet.]( Emerging from hibernation, weak and lethargic mama bears use the little energy they have left to search for food for themselves and their babies. You and I may see this as an innocent, helpless creature fighting to survive, but a trophy hunter sees an opportunity to kill for fun. Our countryâs bears donât deserve to be seen as trophies to be slaughtered, and their babies donât deserve to die before their first summer. We still have the chance to save bears and our planet. But trophy hunters and private interests are pushing harder to remove protections for grizzly bears. This would let them murder bears for fun and take over their lands for mining, logging, and corporate greed. How long will we let this go on? Help stop trophy hunters from killing bears before itâs too late. Donate $27 today and help us reach our $4,010 goal.

[Donate another amount]( Soon, black bears may not be the only ones facing a horrific fate. Grizzly bears were once abundant across the country. But by 1975, trophy hunting and other human activities brought their numbers down to less than a thousand. Finally, they were given protections -- but outside of Alaska, grizzlies are still at just 2% of their historic population. As you read this, states are working to make the brutal murder of grizzly bears legal. Idaho and Montana have green-lit some of the worst hunting practices. Now, Wyoming is working to follow suit. As a result, Mama bears are being torn apart by bullets, leaving their babies to starve, freeze, or fall prey to other species. And Big Polluters are pillaging their habitat for profit -- worsening the climate crisis and poisoning communities who live nearby as they drill, mine, and frack on these lands. Will you stand with us today and join us in the fight to protect grizzlies and the planet? Grizzly cubs could soon become orphaned and left for dead.

[Donate another amount]( Grizzly bears are an iconic part of the North American wilderness. They can stand up to eight feet tall and weigh up to 800 pounds. As they roam vast swaths of land, these intelligent omnivores enhance biodiversity, enrich soils, regulate prey populations, and transport nutrients through different ecosystems. Scientists are continuously discovering more and more ways grizzlies play a pivotal role in the ecosystems they inhabit. But there are now less than 2,000 grizzlies left in the continental U.S., in large part due to merciless trophy hunting and polluters wrecking their habitats. We canât let them get away with this, Friend -- thereâs too much on the line. And grizzly bears are running out of time. I need you in this fight if bears are going to stand a chance.
