Match my gift 3x
[[link removed]]Defender,

Our wild heritage is being pillaged before our very eyes.

The animals we love are dying, and the laws that protect them are under attack
by a hostile administration bowing to corporate special interests.

Tough times call for tough measures. That’s where our in-house legal team comes
in – but we need your help!

That’s why our Board of Directors and President’s Circle are announcing an
emergency 3x match: Your gift will be matched 2-for-1 up to $100,000, making
three times the impact to keep wildlife safe across the country!

Give wildlife their day in court. Help protect vulnerable species by making your
emergency donation to Defenders of Wildlife – and now through August 31st, your
gift will be matched 2-for-1!

From gray wolves to right whales, from Arctic tundra to the desert Southwest,
the nonstop destruction of wildlife and the habitat they need to survive has
risen to unspeakable levels. And the very laws enacted to protect these animals
are themselves under attack.

When you support Defenders, you’re empowering a passionate team of legal experts
who have won in court again and again on behalf of wildlife. But with literally dozens of lawsuits pending, our resources are spread thin.

Here are just some of the current and upcoming actions you are helping to make
possible:

* Protecting the Arctic : We’re suing to stop massive oil and gas development in the Arctic that
threatens to cost polar bears, nesting migratory birds and other wildlife
their lives.
* Fighting the delisting of gray wolves : This administration is ignoring science to justify throwing all gray
wolves off the Endangered Species list – but we won’t let them throw away
decades of work to restore the country’s wolves.
* Saving right whales from extinction : These critically endangered mammals are being killed by ship strikes and
fishing gear entanglement. The courts are on our side, and we’re fighting to
see these whales get the protections they need to survive.

Friend of Defenders, here’s the good news. When we fight,
we win. Just last week we won a critical victory over the administration’s
efforts to gut the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. We’ve already won multiple
lawsuits to compel the Fish and Wildlife Service to do their job protecting
endangered red and Mexican gray wolves.

Threatened and endangered species deserve their day in court. Help give it to
them by making your emergency gift in defense of wildlife, while your generosity goes
3x as far!

Thanks for all you do for the wildlife you love.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark

President, Defenders of Wildlife

P.S.: Our legal team is fighting as hard as they can to save the wildlife who
need us, but the threats keep coming. Don’t let your chance to make a difference pass you by – please pitch in before
August 31 st , before this 3x match ends!
