Hi John,

This year 33 endangered Florida panthers were reported dead — more than in any other single year since 2016.

As few as 200 of these beautiful animals are left in the wild. On average between 20 and 30 are killed every year, mostly struck by cars.

The Center for Biological Diversity is fighting to save these panthers and all species on the brink. Please help us save wildlife by giving today to the Future for the Wild Fund. Your gift will be matched, but only through tomorrow.

Florida panthers eke out a living in less than 5% of their historic range.

In addition to habitat protection, these great cats urgently need wildlife crossings throughout their range in Florida. What plagues them has also put mountain lions in Southern California and red wolves in North Carolina at risk — dense road networks and zooming traffic.

But this is a problem we can tackle.

The Center helped win wildlife crossings for mountain lions in California and just days ago secured federal funding for crossings in North Carolina that will help save red wolves, the most endangered wolves on the planet.

Our victory for red wolves was one of many in 2024.

We won proposed or final Endangered Species Act protection for 37 species, including monarch butterflies, dunes sagebrush lizards, white-tailed ptarmigans, Pearl River map turtles, Bethany Beach fireflies and hellbenders.

We also secured nearly 6 million acres of critical habitat, including 1.4 million acres for Humboldt martens, 1.5 million acres for Florida bonneted bats, and 1.6 million acres for rusty patched bumblebees.

The Center spearheaded the passage and signing of the Room to Roam Act, which requires cities and counties to promote wildlife connectivity across California.

We won bans on wolf trapping in Idaho to protect grizzly bears from being accidentally caught in cruel leghold traps.

And we helped secure the first-ever draft policy to protect old-growth forests and trees across the national forest system.

Since we were founded, the Center has achieved Endangered Species Act protection for more than 760 species and more than 700 million acres of protected critical habitat.

Saving the natural world is the fight of our lives. And we need you with us to win.
