Hi John,

Every single species clinging to survival has just been pushed closer to the brink.

Decimating the Endangered Species Act will destroy public lands, oceans, forests, and prairies. Animals and plants will pay for it with their lives.

The Center for Biological Diversity is ready for the fights ahead, and we need you with us. Please make your Giving Tuesday gift now to the Future for the Wild Fund, and it will be matched.

The Trump administration escalated its assault on the wild by taking aim at the Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and NOAA Fisheries, federal agencies charged with protecting wildlife, are moving forward with a habitat-destruction plan that's a blueprint for extinction.

Species teetering on the edge, like manatees and panthers, won't stand a chance.

Thousands of manatees have starved in recent years because their habitat is so polluted. Florida panthers, who used to range throughout the Southeast, are nearly penned in by sprawl and die at horrifying rates from vehicle collisions. If the Act is weakened, it'll be game over for these great cats.

The threats stretch from coast to coast. California spotted owls are still waiting to be protected under the Act. The Trump rules will make it harder to grant lifesaving help, and species on the brink can't wait.

Green sea turtles, who migrate hundreds or thousands of miles, could find their nesting beaches lit up by shoreline development — making it harder for female turtles to come ashore to lay eggs and for hatchlings to find their way to the ocean.

You can't save endangered species if industry gets a pass to bulldoze, drill, and destroy the places where they live.

That's why we're fighting tooth and nail to keep the Act at full strength. The Center is taking legal action nearly every five days to save wildlife, and we won't stop.
