Defender,

For grizzly bears, black-footed ferrets, wolves, and other imperiled wildlife, the ESA is the last line of defense – can they count on you? Our Giving Tuesday Match ends at midnight tonight – please donate $50 right now to have your gift DOUBLED to defend the ESA.

The ESA is one of the most popular and effective conservation laws ever enacted. Over 95% of species listed under the ESA are still with us today, including the American alligator, peregrine falcon, and even our national symbol, the bald eagle.

But despite its successes, the ESA is fighting chronic underfunding as anti-wildlife politicians fight tooth and nail to weaken it and strip still-threatened species of their protections. The consequences are devastating.

Just last month, 21 species were declared extinct. When wolves in the Northern Rockies lost their protections several years ago, anti-wolf and anti-ESA politicians began hijacking the authority of fish and wildlife agencies and commissions, resulting in the ongoing wholesale killing of wolves in the region.

We must put a stop to these attacks on our most vulnerable wildlife. Please be sure to make your Giving Tuesday gift now!
