Dear Friend of Defenders,

Recently, the Trump administration took a chainsaw to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Their rewrites are a big win for loggers, developers, drillers and miners. And they’re a catastrophic loss for animals.

This move is not only cruel – it's illegal. We're taking them to court, and we need your help!

Our Board of Directors and President's Circle have stepped up to help fight back – give $15 or more, and they'll match your gift 2-for-1 up to $150,000!

Here's the reality: Under these regulations, more wildlife will die. And more species may go extinct.

This is a defining moment for our movement.

Give $15 or more and have your gift triple-matched to fight for wildlife protections in court!

The world is still reeling from a chilling report that shows up to 1,000,000 species worldwide may be threatened with extinction in coming decades.

With wildlife already in such a vulnerable position, these new regulations are a deadly giveaway to Big Oil, Big Mining, agribusiness and other special interests who won't think twice about driving heavy machinery over denning polar bear families and deafening whales with their seismic testing blasts – all in the relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of animals' lives.

Friend of Defenders, thank you in advance for joining the fight to protect wildlife.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark President, Defenders of Wildlife
