The government may soon decide to strip critical protections from endangered species.

Friend,
More than 1,600 animals and plants in the United States are listed as endangered or threatened by the Endangered Species Act. Yet, hundreds more await needed protections, and some species face the risk of having their protections stripped away prematurely.
We urgently need your support in our fight to reverse wildlife loss and protect incredible species like grizzly bears, gray wolves and many more magnificent animals. That's why we've set an urgent goal to reach 400 donors to continue our vital work for endangered and threatened wildlife by September 4th, National Wildlife Day.
Grizzly bears are in desperate need of your support. These majestic animals are iconic symbols of the American West, yet they are at risk of being hunted and killed due to potential delisting from the endangered species list. Anti-wildlife lawmakers in Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana are pressuring the US Fish and Wildlife Service to remove protections for two key grizzly populations, jeopardizing their recovery and survival.
The Sierra Club is fighting back on every front. Our team is working tirelessly to defeat dangerous legislation in Congress that would imperil endangered species as they struggle to survive in the face of habitat loss, climate change, and other existential threats.
We're at a critical juncture, and your immediate action can make all the difference. With the unwavering support of dedicated supporters like you, the Sierra Club and our partners have achieved significant victories for wildlife—from securing crucial protections for wolverines to urging the Biden administration to ban cruel hunting practices in Alaska that threatened mother bears and their cubs.
