Remove a predator from its habitat, and the resulting chaos ripples through the
entire ecosystem.

Wolves, bears, panthers, orcas and sea otters are the keepers of nature’s
balance. When they disappear, whether it’s due to over-hunting, habitat
destruction or other causes, it triggers a cascade of brutal consequences that
threaten the survival of countless animals.

We’re already seeing the deadly effects of wiping out animals like wolves and
bears, and the destruction of habitat for panthers and orcas. Don’t let things spiral out of control: Stand up for predators before nature is
thrown further out of balance!

Make your emergency donation to fight to save predators and all imperiled
wildlife! Every dollar you give will be matched 2-for-1, up to $150,000!

Maybe you don’t think of sea otters as predators, but they have a key role to
play. These adorable furry creatures sit at the top of the kelp forest food
chain, and when they begin to disappear, the whole ecosystem starts to crumble.

Kelp forests are like underwater rainforests – home for an incredible variety of
wild plants and animals. But without sea otters to keep sea urchin populations
in check, they explode. The urchins chew up the kelp, destroying habitat for
other animals including important fish species like imperiled Pacific salmon. As
fish populations crash, bald eagles start to disappear. And so on.

In other words, failing to protect even one key predator species can cause the whole ecosystem
to collapse.

We’re fighting to keep these species from disappearing, endangering entire
ecosystems for future generations! Join us by pitching in to protect wildlife
and wild places, while your gift goes 3x as far!

Around the world, predators and other species are disappearing at a terrifying
rate. If we let this threat go unchecked, we could be facing collapsing
ecosystems on all sides – and if the wildlife we love are in jeopardy now, that
future would be absolute chaos.

There’s still time to turn things around. We can protect imperiled wildlife and
ensure that future generations inherit a world full of wildlife – but we need
your help before it’s too late!
