Dear NRDC Supporter,

Gut-wrenching news:

Special interests and their allies in Congress pushed forward an outrageous proposal to strip the gray wolf of endangered species protections.

The last time gray wolves lost these protections under the previous Trump administration... 200 were killed in four days.

Now, as we race to protect gray wolves and other wildlife from efforts to weaken endangered species protections, we just got word of a special offer that could help turn the tide.

A generous donor has agreed to donate $20,000 to our campaign, but only if 200 people make a gift in the next 24 hours.

Donate BY MIDNIGHT TONIGHT to help unlock $20,000, save gray wolves and other wildlife from extermination, and defend our environment on all fronts. Your $5 gift could put us over the top!

Without endangered species protections, gray wolves endure unimaginable suffering. Traps and snares leave them mangled and bloody. Wolves are run over by snowmobiles and ATVs, and mothers and pups are killed in their dens. Even more shocking: States incentivize this cruelty with taxpayer-funded bounties.

This keystone species deserves so much more from us.

Because when gray wolves disappear like they did from Yellowstone in the 1920s, ecosystems literally collapse. Deer and elk populations explode. Forest health declines. And countless species struggle to survive.

But no matter what the science says, special interests insist we return to a time when gray wolves and other wildlife species were nearly wiped out.

Don't let their cruel and vicious campaign go unchallenged.

Make a $5 gift today to protect gray wolves, other threatened wildlife, and our environment, and become one of the 200 donors we need by midnight to unlock a new $20,000 gift.

For centuries, the gray wolf has been culturally significant and even sacred to many Indigenous people. Thankfully, the Endangered Species Act allowed the gray wolf to slowly recover over decades.

Today, however, full-scale efforts are underway to take aim at the gray wolf, other threatened wildlife, and the Endangered Species Act that protects them. If we don't stop this, we risk losing many iconic species to extinction.

Before midnight, make your $5 donation to help us protect wildlife and defend our environment in the most effective way possible. If you do, you'll help unlock a new $20,000 GIFT.

A few months ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service declared 21 species extinct. We'll never see these plants and animals again largely because they did not receive endangered species protections until it was far too late.

There's still time to save species like the gray wolf. But we must act NOW.

Sincerely,
NRDC

P.S. We can't lose this one opportunity at $20,000 to protect wildlife. Say yes! Donate just $5 and be one of the 200 donors we need to unlock this challenge.
