A longtime donor of Defenders has put forward a challenge, and we need your
help! ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌Friend of Defenders:

Heartless attacks on the wildlife and wild places we all love have prompted a
generous donor to step up with a challenge:

If we can get 1,000 donations by Friday, October 16 th , Defenders will receive an additional $25,000 to protect wildlife!

It's up to all of us to do what we can to fight back for animals in danger. Will
you protect imperiled wildlife with your gift today – and help unlock $25,000 in
critical conservation funding?

Unlock $25,000 to save wildlife
[[link removed]]Defender,

The wildlife we love are in a life-threatening crisis. No wolf is safe. No whale
is safe. No bear is safe. No wild place is safe.

With your help, Defenders is fighting back with all we’ve got. But
Friend of Defenders, the relentless assaults on our wild
world are stretching our resources to the limit.

That’s why a longtime donor of Defenders has put forward a challenge: If we can
get 1,000 people to donate $15 or more before October 16 th , our generous supporters at SunRidge Farms, an organic and sustainable business,
will kick in another $25,000!

Friend of Defenders, you’re the key to this incredible
gift. Won't you act now to donate $15 or more to unlock this critical wildlife
funding before October 16 th ?

Your gift, with the challenge amount, will help fund our urgent far-reaching
strategy to protect the wildlife you love.

By donating you will help support:

The tireless efforts of our field teams across the country responsible for field
science, public education and state-level advocacy;

Our science-based advocacy in Washington DC to keep the heat on this
administration and Congress; and

The dozens of lawsuits we’ve filed on behalf of red wolves, Mexican gray wolves,
polar bears, right whales and other threatened and endangered animals;

Why you?

You love wildlife and you fear for their future. You’re appalled by special
interests motivated by greed and using their political muscle to wipe away
decades of conservation progress. And you mourn as you see so many animal
species being pushed to the brink.

This fight is not over. Your donation, along with the $25,000 challenge amount,
will make a lot of desperately needed conservation action possible. And it will
distinguish you as a true hero for the animals.

Can I count on you to help us unlock this critical wildlife funding before the
deadline with your gift today?

Thanks for all you do to protect our wild world.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark

President, Defenders of Wildlife
