Dear Friend,

On Giving Tuesday, we honored the successes of the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the work our National Geographic Explorers are doing to protect threatened wildlife – and there is still time to make your gift and have your support matched 5X in honor of this special day of giving.

Each and every day, our Explorers provide #HopeForSpecies through their groundbreaking conservation efforts and discoveries. Will you make your gift today to continue this crucial work?

Decades of overhunting the gray wolf in the continental US has led to its near extinction. Since receiving protection by the ESA in 1978, the population has grown to around 7,500. National Geographic Explorer and photographer Ronan Donovan uses the power of visual storytelling to bring life to these creatures outside of Yellowstone National Park and ensure their continued protection.

Long believed to be extinct, the Miami tiger beetle was rediscovered in 2007 and has been under protection of the ESA since 2016. National Geographic Explorer George Gann works to preserve this endangered species' natural habitat and ensure it has protected land to grow and flourish for years to come.

The Virginia round-leaf birch was also once thought to be extinct, but after its rediscovery in the 1970s, it was the first tree species added to the ESA. Through conservation efforts, its numbers continue to grow. National Geographic Explorer and Tree Conservation Ecologist Silvia Alvarez-Clare collaborates with multiple organizations to protect species of trees facing threats.

Your tax-deductible donation directly supports projects like these that are protecting threatened wildlife from extinction and illuminating the stories and lessons they have to teach us.

With limited matching funds remaining, can we count on you to give #HopeForSpecies before the MATCH opportunity runs out?

Thank you for your support of this vitally important work.

Sincerely,

Wudassie Teklehaimanot
Senior Director, Annual Giving & Membership
National Geographic Society
