Hi John,
2024 ends in a few hours, and with it a generous 1:1 match for every dollar given to the Future for the Wild Fund. Please give by our midnight deadline to make this match count.
We know what's coming in the year ahead — and we have to be ready.
Our promise to you is that we won't give in. We won't let all we've won for species and wild places be undone.
We'll be standing up to those who want to sell out wildlife or stand by as the species we love disappear forever.
Signs of the biodiversity crisis are all around us. Upwards of half the world's species are in decline. Nearly 1 of every 3 plant and animal species could vanish forever by 2100.
The Center was created for these times. It's why we're here: to protect those without a voice.
In 2024 we gained protection for 37 species under the Endangered Species Act.
In the past month alone, we won lifesaving protection for monarch butterflies, hellbenders, Suckley's cuckoo bumblebees, and a rare New Mexico desert flower called the swale paintbrush.
This year 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.
We've shown time and time again that we can win for wildlife. The Center has locked in protections for more than 760 species and more than 700 million acres of critical habitat.
In the year ahead, we'll keep fighting for species great and small. And we'll protect the oceans, rivers, deserts, mountains, plains and forests that allow them to survive.
Our love for the wild gives us hope.
This is my last message of the year. Please — stand with us to protect the species we all cherish so deeply.
Start a monthly donation today so you can have the most powerful impact on our uncompromising defense of the natural world — and be with us every day as we secure a future for the wild.
For the wild,
