I'll make it quick, John.

This is it: Your last chance to be a hero for nature with your donation on World Animal Day. A hero for endangered species and vulnerable communities, for the Amazon and the Arctic, for the trees and the seas, and for the amazing diversity of life on Earth.

Many WWF supporters have already gone above and beyond—but we still haven't reached our goal, and our fall membership drive ends at midnight!

In honor of World Animal Day, make a commitment to our beautiful planet and start your monthly membership. Giving $10/month or any other amount you choose is such an effective way to protect nature.

Please hurry—World Animal Day will be over at midnight! Make your secure gift and become a monthly member right now.

With your monthly gift, you'll become a WWF Hero and make a difference for conservation around the world. You'll save species from extinction, stop deforestation and many other threats to nature and people, and protect the planet for future generations—365 days a year!

WWF Heroes are amazing. They love and respect nature, protect biodiversity, help stop wildlife trafficking, conserve the world's forests, save our seas and coral reefs, advocate for the Arctic and the Amazon, and build a future where people live in harmony with nature.

If that sounds like you, I urge you to join this wonderful community of WWF supporters and make every day World Animal Day.
