The tragic news that Idaho wiped out 60% of the state’s wolves in one year may have even deadlier consequences in the long run.
Wolves play a key role as predators – animals that maintain the natural balance of their ecosystems. But wildlife predators are under attack across the country, and their habitats are in grave danger if they disappear.
We must put a stop to this catastrophe before it spirals further out of control. That’s why our Board of Directors and President’s Circle are authorizing an emergency triple-match up to $150,000 to protect predators and other wildlife to restore balance to nature!
Give now to save wolves and other imperiled predator species! Pitch in by September 30th and every dollar you give will be MATCHED 2-FOR-1, up to a total of $150,000!
Predator species include animals like wolves, bears, panthers, orcas and even sea otters. They sit at the top of the food chain in their habitat, helping to keep their ecosystem in check. When these keepers of nature’s balance disappear, the results can be disastrous for a whole range of species.
When wolves were wiped out in Yellowstone National Park, elk populations exploded. The elk devoured plants that other animals, from songbirds to beavers, needed to survive.
It took the historic return of wolves to Yellowstone in 1995 to trigger a cascade of changes that is restoring balance to the Park’s ecosystem. Beavers returned, which in turn helped aquatic species. Vegetation along streams rebounded, bringing more and more songbirds. Even bison populations rebounded.
That’s why wolves and other predator species are so necessary. But if we abandon them again, this deadly scenario could play out in ecosystems across the country.
Your urgent donation will help protect predators and other imperiled wildlife. Make sure to pitch in before September 30th, while your gift makes 3x the impact!
Threats like climate change, pollution and a hostile administration are all making it even harder to protect the wildlife you love. That’s why we’re coming to you with this opportunity to make a powerful difference.
