Hi John,

Earlier this year an endangered red wolf was illegally shot and killed in Washington County, North Carolina. Now only 13 confirmed red wolves exist in the wild.

Please help us save them by giving now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.

These are the most endangered wolves in the world — and yet federal officials declared them "nonessential" and seem all too willing to lose the species forever.

Not on our watch. We just sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to enhance red wolf protections.

Red wolves once roamed from Texas to Florida and as far north as New York.

But relentless killing and mismanagement nearly wiped them out. Today the handful of survivors in the wild live in a small pocket of eastern North Carolina. Gunshots remain the leading cause of death.

It's absurd that the Fish and Wildlife Service has declared the remaining 13 "nonessential." If these wolves die off, they'll be eliminated from the wild forever.

We won't stand by while red wolves are pushed into extinction. That's why we went to court to reverse this disastrous decision.

The Endangered Species Act was created for moments like this. Animals and plants have a right to exist. The Act is our commitment to do everything possible to ensure their survival. The Service has a legal obligation to red wolves and every other species facing extinction.

Twenty-one species were just declared extinct. This crisis is gathering momentum, with 1 million species facing extinction in the coming decades.

Without further protections, red wolves in the wild could be gone within years.

The Center was founded to save wildlife and species fighting for survival. We've gone to court for red wolves before and won.

We'll never stop doing all we can to save them, but we need you with us.

Please step up today for red wolves by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
