| Dear Friend, |
| The future of endangered species is at stake. |
| In September: A Florida court ruled against protections for endangered manatees, which experienced starvation and a massive die-off when runoff pollution killed their food source. We are continuing the legal fight for manatees. |
| In December: After federal agencies refused to implement any road density limitations in the Bitterroot National Forest, crucial connective habitat for grizzlies, we sued to protect them. |
| Now: Earthjustice is using every legal tool necessary to protect endangered species. We are just 5 days away from our critical end of year deadline, and we need the support of all our donors and activists to meet our goals. |
| Friend, we rely on passionate supporters like you to fund these fights and so many others. Can you fight alongside us with a $25, $50, or $100 donation today? It will be matched $2:$1 to triple your impact. |
|
|
| The Endangered Species Act has had monumental success. It has ensured that 99% of the species it protects are still with us today. Unfortunately, some of these species have powerful enemies working hard to strip away the ESA's legal protections. |
| These are just a few species we are currently fighting to protect: |
 |
| Endangered species are under threat around the country, from a variety of opponents who seek profits at the expense of our planet’s web of life. |
| As the largest and most powerful legal force for the environment in the country, Earthjustice is uniquely positioned to protect endangered species from habitat destruction, pollution, and from losing their status as “endangered.” |
| Our 200 attorneys work across the country and partner with local environmental groups whose understanding of local ecosystems complements our legal expertise. Together, we force the government to enforce the Endangered Species Act and protect vulnerable species. |
| Friend, your support makes this possible. We represent each client and partner free of charge thanks to your generosity. Together, we have proved time and time again that the law is an extraordinarily powerful tool in protecting these species. |
| Please, make a gift today and help us reach our important end of year fundraising goal. Your gift will be matched $2:$1 to triple your impact. |
|
|
| Thank you for your ongoing partnership. |
