[[link removed]]THIS HALLOWEEN, BE A WILDLIFE HERO.
John,
As families around the country prepare their Halloween costumes, wildlife at
home and abroad face a threat far scarier than any horror movie monster: the plummeting diversity of plant and animal species worldwide.
A new report from the United Nations reveals truly scary statistics showing that
the world has fallen short of decade-long commitments to address loss,
degradation, and fragmentation of forests. Our forests and the incredible
species that call them home need champions like you, John, to rise and
meet this biodiversity crisis.
[[link removed]] Will you be a wildlife hero this Halloween?
With a net 12 million acres of forests lost per year worldwide from 2010 to
2020—larger than the size of California in total—our wildlife need heroes. Will you answer the call?

I am a wildlife hero

At home, forests are facing new challenges that directly threaten wildlife like
owls. The recent prioritization of oil and gas development on public lands, the
potential loss of critical protections in areas like Great Sequoia National
Monument, and plans to expand logging and remove roadless protections in the
Tongass National Forest could lead to the permanent disruption of fragile
ecosystems.
Threats like these could imperil species like the threatened Mexican spotted owl
and northern spotted owl, as well as the awe-inspiring great horned owl. Losing
critical forest habitats and pushing these nocturnal wonders to the brink of
extinction is not just spooky — it worsens the global biodiversity crisis.
John, will you take our wildlife hero
pledge today?
[[link removed]] Owls and other wildlife need champions to oppose unsustainable logging on our
public lands and call on our leaders to act on climate to protect forests.
As the saying goes, not all heroes wear capes.
Thank you for all you do for wildlife,
