Hi John,

The U.S. Congress is offering us a poison pill as a holiday gift: Let endangered species be killed.

A bill just put forward by the House of Representatives would weaken the Endangered Species Act — and we can't allow that. The result would be more dead wildlife.

Please help us protect imperiled species by giving today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. All gifts through Dec. 31 will be doubled.

The far right-wing faction in Congress wants to make it easier to kill endangered species. That would be a disaster for wildlife now and weaken the best tool we've got to defend them in the future.

The House Republicans pushing for this bill claim it gives the Act more "flexibility." What they mean is, they want to make it easier for corporate interests to ride roughshod over endangered plants and animals.

One representative even claimed the Act has a disappointing track record. He couldn't be more wrong.

The Act has saved 99% of species given its protection. It must be saved, fully restored, and fully funded.

The forces that want to destroy the Act, and our precious biodiversity, are the same ones driving the climate emergency.

They're driven by greed and a lack of caring for the natural world. Up to a million species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades.

Stopping this extreme attack — and restoring the Act to its full power — is a top priority for the Center moving into the new year.

Extinction is a political choice. It's profoundly wrong to allow the killing of species just to build more mini-malls or dig for more oil.

The Center is doing everything we can to protect the vulnerable species and ecosystems we love so much.

Our fight to save the wild will be a long one, and we'll never stop.

Please help now by making a matched gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
