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.
