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!

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!
