The first 100 donors will receive a free gift with your early donation. Donate at least $25 or start a monthly gift to qualify.
“Around 1 million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken.”
It’s not hyperbole. The U.N.’s last biodiversity report delivered a gut-punch last summer with the news that 1 million species could face extinction, many in just decades, unless we take decisive action to enact transformative changes in our world.

Be one of the first 100 to donate to our Membership Month drive and receive a free gift with your donation to fight climate change.

Choose from a polar bear and penguin-themed insulated tote, or a soft and cuddly plush polar bear when you donate $25 or start a new monthly gift of any size.

Special matching gift offer from the Wilson Charitable Trust: New members giving at least $35 and all new monthly gifts will also qualify for a $1-for-$1 matching gift. Monthly gifts will be matched for 12 months, doubling your impact all year long.


1 million species.

It’s a number too large for the human mind to fully comprehend.

But the factors driving so much of Earth’s life towards extinction are fewer and easier to understand: Habitat loss. Overfishing. Plastic pollution. Climate change.

We know how to solve those problems. It’s not too late to prevent this unimaginably bleak future… if, and only if, we act now.

Time and again, we’ve proven that caring and committed people like coming together can change the course of history and solve major environmental threats.

That’s why for Membership Month, we’ve challenged members like you to donate a combined $100,000 and start 250 new monthly gifts by March 31 to fight climate change.

To stay on pace, we need to reach the $20,000 milestone this weekend. Make your early donation now and you could qualify for a free gift AND a $1-for-$1 matching gift.

Your Membership Month contribution will make a lasting positive impact on the future for people and wildlife.

Thank you for being part of transformational change,

Sam Parry
Director, Membership
P.S. Over the next few weeks, we’ll be highlighting stories your fellow members have shared about why they became an EDF member and what they’re most proud of or looking forward to doing together. As you read your fellow members’ words, I hope you’ll draw inspiration from seeing the lasting change we make when we act together. Today, I hope you’ll become one of our first 100 Membership Month donors to qualify for a free gift and a $1-for-$1 match on your donation.
