Dear NRDC Supporter,

I'll break the news quickly:

Our campaign to save wildlife ended yesterday and we fell short of our goal. But to help us make up the shortfall, the anonymous match donor agreed to extend our match deadline for another day.

Will you donate $5 by midnight and help us protect threatened wildlife and our environment? Every dollar DOUBLES, up to $80,000.

On this 50th anniversary of the Endangered Species Act, we cannot afford to fall short of this critical goal. Just a couple of months ago, the Fish and Wildlife Service declared 21 species extinct.

Those are animals and plants that our children and grandchildren will never see largely because they did not receive endangered species protections until it was far too late. But we've still got a chance to save other threatened wildlife.

Make your 2x MATCHED gift to our Holiday Drive for Wildlife and do your part to help species struggling to survive. Even $5 makes an impact.

Thanks for your help.

Dear NRDC Supporter,

This is your final chance to support our campaign to save wildlife.

Donate before midnight and it will DOUBLE up to 80,000. Remember, your donation is 100% tax-deductible and just $5 makes a big difference.

Plummeting populations of whales, polar bears, bees, and butterflies serve as a warning to all of us. We've pushed our planet past the point of what's sustainable.

Your support now helps us stop extremists willing to drive species to extinction and threaten our planet for more profit.

We're SO close to meeting our goal of raising $80,000. Will you donate $5 before midnight and help us close this gap? Your gift will go TWICE as far to protect wildlife, critical habitats, and our environment.

With deep appreciation for your generosity.

Sincerely,

NRDC
