John,

The Center just took the Trump administration to court for gutting the Endangered Species Act.

Our legal fight against this giveaway to industry at the expense of wildlife is on — and we need you with us.

Please give to the Center's Endangered Species Act Protection Fund — and have your gift doubled.

The Endangered Species Act is the single most powerful conservation law in existence. Trump and the greedy anti-wildlife forces he's shilling for aren't just trying to push species closer to extinction so they can drill, mine and log the Earth into an industrialized wasteland.

They also want to hamstring the Center and our supporters permanently. They want to stop us from protecting wildlife for good.

This attack on the Endangered Species Act is a direct assault on vulnerable species, and on all of us who stand up to defend them. With our fight now in court, this is the time to give to preserve the lifesaving power of the Act.

Today's lawsuit is just a first step. We'll keep up our legal battles for the Act and imperiled species, we'll fight the assault in the halls of Congress, and we'll mobilize for the wild with a mass resistance on the ground.

We won't let Trump and Interior Secretary Bernhardt eviscerate the Act or get away with these new rules that will make it harder to protect threatened species, more difficult to defend habitat, and put a dollar figure on the lives of precious, disappearing wildlife.

In a time of runaway extinction, the administration has declined protection for more than 60 species, including Siskiyou Mountains salamanders, Joshua trees, California's tricolored blackbirds and yellow-banded bumblebees.

Trump has escalated his war on the wild by trying to rip apart the law that has saved 99 percent of the species granted its protection.

We'll do all we can to protect the Act and the animals and plants that depend on it to survive.

Please make a matched donation now to the Center's Endangered Species Act Protection Fund.
