| Dear John, |
| Endangered Species Day is just around the corner, and wildlife is counting on your support. If you’ve already made a donation, thank you so much. If you haven’t given yet, there’s still time to make a difference. |
|
| With threats like climate change and habitat loss intensifying, now is a critical time to take action to save endangered species like Przewalski’s horses, the last true wild horse. |
|
 |
| Why they need you—All living Przewalski’s horses were descended from 12 individuals—until the birth of Kurt. He’s the first-ever clone of a Przewalski’s horse and calls the San Diego Zoo Safari Park home. |
|
| When You Give—You spark hope for these wild horses. Kurt was cloned using the DNA of a stallion that lived 42 years ago and whose DNA was previously absent from the living population. |
|
| Why it matters—"Kurt is significant to his species because he offers the hope of bringing back lost genetic diversity to the population." — Nadine Lamberski, DVM, Chief Conservation and Wildlife Health Officer, San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance |
|
|
|
| Don’t wait to protect wildlife—your gift by Endangered Species Day on May 19 is critical to saving species like the Przewalski’s horse. |
|
 |
| Yours in conservation, |
Dr. Megan Owen
Vice President of Conservation Science
