Dear NRDC Supporter,
They're the often overlooked victims of human encroachment.
Polar bears... right whales... monarch butterflies... and too many other species like them are vanishing by the day, slowly slipping closer to extinction. So many that we are in the midst of a mass wildlife extinction.
NRDC is fighting back against anti-environment extremists who want to gut the Endangered Species Act and destroy habitats critical for wildlife recovery.
And starting today, your support goes TWICE as far to help us.
Donate before December 23, and your gift will DOUBLE, up to $80,000, to protect threatened wildlife from extinction, preserve ecosystems, and defend our environment on all fronts. Even $5 makes a difference.
Just a few months ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service declared 21 new 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.
What will you do now to help stop other wildlife from disappearing forever?
Make TWICE the impact with a tax-deductible gift of $5 and help NRDC defend:
Polar bears: The poster child for climate change harms, polar bears depend on sea ice to hunt for their food. As climate change warms our world and sea ice continues to melt, scientists predict polar bear populations will decline precipitously.
Your $5 donation DOUBLES to power NRDC's fights in and out of court to stop climate-destroying fossil fuel projects that will push the polar bear closer to extinction.
Right whales: There are only about 350 North Atlantic right whales left in the world. Every year, a horrifying number die from fishing gear entanglements and speeding ships. Right whales are also being impacted by harmful noise pollution and are struggling to find food due to climate change.
Donate just $5 to make TWICE the impact to protect North Atlantic right whales and their critical marine habitat.
Monarch Butterflies: Populations of monarch butterflies declined an astonishing 80% in just a couple of decades as herbicides decimated milkweed, the primary food source for monarch caterpillars.
Make your 2x MATCHED gift of $5 and support our campaign to ban the use of toxic pesticides that are quickly pushing the monarch and other pollinators to extinction.
What hurts wildlife hurts all of us, too. Your donation today supports our work to defend the web of life against extremists trying to eviscerate bedrock environmental laws.
Sincerely,
Lucas Rhoads
Project Attorney, Nature Program, NRDC
P.S. This 2x MATCH to prevent extinction and help all wildlife expires on December 23. Remember, 100% of your gift is tax-deductible.
