Friend of Defenders,
World Wildlife Day is almost upon us – and this year, it's an occasion for outrage.
Because if we look away from this wildlife crisis and the suffering it brings, we're giving up on the animals we love.
World Wildlife Day is next week, and it's time for action.
Hundreds of supporters just like you have chosen to pitch in to stop the assault on the wildlife we hold dear – will you step up and join them today?
We can't ignore these real dangers facing the animals we love:
An alpha female, the leader of a mighty wolf pack, lies bloodied and lifeless in the snow a mile outside the park boundary that was supposed to be her refuge.
A magnificent shark, slowly suffocating and left to die as it spirals toward the bottom of the sea, its fins cruelly sliced off for soup.
A once-serene Arctic wilderness trembles under the weight of massive machinery, burying mother polar bears and their cubs alive.
It doesn't have to be this way – and if you'll stand with us, we can change the future for wildlife!
When you support Defenders of Wildlife, you're fueling an ambitious and effective global movement to protect wildlife and the places they need to survive.
Your gift keeps field biologists, legal experts, scientists, policy advocates and grassroots educators fighting tirelessly to protect the future for wildlife, wild places and our communities!
I'm asking you to join me in making this World Wildlife Day a turning point for the wildlife we love.
Thank you in advance for supporting the species who need us most.
Sincerely,
 |

P.S.: Because the crisis for wildlife is so dire, we need to raise $50,000 to power life-saving conservation efforts. Every dollar you give brings us closer to that critical goal – will you pitch $15 or more to save wildlife right now, while the need is so great?
