Dear Friend of
Defenders,

A patriarch of the southern resident orca population has gone missing
and is presumed dead.

With the disappearance of L41, known as Mega, there are only 72 of
these orcas left - and the surviving whales are still in danger.

Time's running out for these struggling orcas. That's why we're
working tirelessly in the Pacific Northwest to save them!

Your emergency support of $15 or more could mean the difference
between life and death for these whales. Please pitch in to save the
wildlife we love today!

Mega was the father of many of the younger whales in his pod. His
disappearance is yet another wake-up call to save these orcas while we
still can.

Southern resident orcas face many threats: They're starving
because their food supply has been cut off by dams. They're
being poisoned by runoff pollution. And they're being deafened
by underwater noise pollution from ships.

The last time the southern resident population fell this low was in
1975, when the population was decimated by years of being captured for
public display. Without more support, at the rate they're dying
off, these remarkable sea mammals could disappear in our lifetimes.

We can still turn the tide against these threats and see southern
resident orcas recover! We need you with us today - will you
help save whales with your support?

YES, I WILL GIVE TO SAVE ORCAS IN DANGER >>

Defenders is at the forefront of efforts to clean up habitat in the
Salish Sea, reduce noise pollution and recover salmon populations to
save southern resident orcas. Thanks to supporters like you, local
lawmakers are waking up to the crisis facing these whales, and they're
starting to take action.

It may be too late for Mega, but there's still hope: Two calves have
been spotted, and they appear to be doing well. But if they're going
to have a long and healthy future, they need us to act quickly!

Donate $15 or more to make a real, effective impact in the lives of
southern resident orcas and other vulnerable wildlife. They need you
now more than ever!
