Defender,

As you read this, a new generation of polar bear cubs is being born in the Arctic.

Imagine those young cubs leaving their cozy den, only to find themselves in a dangerous industrial wasteland.

This nightmare could soon be a reality: Fossil fuel giant ConocoPhillips is moving forward with its massive Willow Project. This climate-wrecking oil and gas project threatens to industrialize the Western Arctic and unleash 260 million metric tons of CO2 into the atmosphere.

You have three days to help us stop this threat: We’re announcing an emergency 4X Flash Match! Our Board of Directors and President’s Circle will match your urgent gift up to $25,000, quadrupling your impact for animals in danger!

Right now, mother polar bears are denning and giving birth in the Arctic. These new polar bear cubs represent the future of their species, especially those born to the Southern Beaufort Sea population. This group of polar bears is one of the most endangered populations in the world.

But construction on the Willow Project is scheduled to resume this winter, right in the heart of vital habitat for imperiled polar bears. Unless we can stop it, ConocoPhillips will turn thousands of acres of Arctic habitat into a fragmented and polluted oil field!

Our emergency 4X Flash Match begins now! Rush your gift before Friday’s deadline, and your contribution will be QUADRUPLED to shut down deadly threats to wildlife like the Willow Project!

Defenders and our allies are fighting back in court to shut down this oil and gas development that threatens the future of our wild world.

The stakes are higher than ever before – if we lose this fight, we could lose these polar bears and many more animals! Even more species will be driven to extinction if ConocoPhillips and other oil and gas companies lock our planet into decades of fossil fuel pollution.

This threat demands an emergency response. Defender, please help us fight back by making your urgent gift right now, while your generosity has 4x the impact!
