Make your generous donation to protect wildlife and your gift will be triple
matched, up to $50,000. ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌Friend of Defenders:

Defenders has learned that a female wolf from the Wedge pack in Washington was
killed

The lethal removal of this wolf was ordered days ago by the Washington
Department of Fish and Wildlife, which has consistently failed to ensure that
nonlethal deterrence tools are used effectively to prevent wolf-livestock
conflicts. But killing wolves hasn't stopped the conflicts - and the cycle of
death continues.

Hold agencies responsible for failing to stop these tragedies. Your gift today
will be matched 2-for-1 to fuel efforts in courts and communities to save
wildlife in jeopardy!

MATCH MY GIFT
[[link removed]]Defender,

I’m mad. I’m heartbroken. And I’m more determined than ever. What about you?

There’s one word to describe the greedy desecration of our diverse wildlife and
wild places: Disgraceful. And it has to stop before it’s too late.

THIS WEEK ONLY: Make your generous donation to protect wildlife and your gift
will be triple matched, up to $50,000. But hurry – this 3x match offer expires
at midnight this Friday!

As you read this, a campaign of greed is ravaging the nation’s ecological
hotspots. And the list of imperiled animals is growing by the minute.

The Tongass National Forest in Alaska contains one of the largest intact old-growth rainforest ecosystems in the
world and is home to a vast array of wildlife - but last year, the region’s Alexander Archipelago wolves were slaughtered in
record numbers.

In Wyoming, the Thunder Basin National Grassland is home to rare species of the Great Plains. But the Forest Service is caving
to pressure from cattle ranchers and plans to allow mass poisoning and shooting of native prairie dogs, dooming recovery for the
endangered black-footed ferret.

The Arctic National Wildlife Refuge teems with wildlife - polar bears, a vast herd of Caribou and an incredible
assortment of birds. But Big Oil is gearing up for an industrial invasion, with thumper trucks that could crush polar bear moms and cubs in their dens.

Friend of Defenders, the list goes on and on.

When you make your urgent donation now, your compassion will make 3x the impact
for wildlife and wild lands under siege. Please give today!

Your support makes a real difference by protecting these irreplaceable habitats.
