The enemies of wolves, orcas, polar bears and so many more vulnerable species are gaining the upper hand.

Up against an anti-wildlife administration, industry special interest groups and more, the animals we love have never been in greater danger. But we have a secret weapon in this fight:

You!

Last week, we shared an incredible opportunity for wildlife: our conservation partner SunRidge Farms, a family-owned and operated organic and sustainable business, is offering $25,000 if we can get 1,000 people to donate to protect wildlife by October 16^th!

Thanks to the passion and dedication of wildlife lovers like you, we've already received hundreds of gifts toward that goal to save vulnerable animals! Now we have an incredible update:

A new donor has stepped up to offer an additional $10,000 in conservation funding if we can hit our 1,000-gift challenge goal.

Simply put: Give today and your gift will help unlock $35,000 to support saving threatened and endangered species across the country.

It’s in your hands!

Friend of Defenders, the fight to save these animals isn't over. But wildlife lovers from all over are stepping up to make sure the species we love are still here for future generations.

Can I count on you to be a hero for wildlife today, while your gift can help secure an additional $35,000 for vulnerable species?

Thanks for all you do!

Sincerely,
