Double Your Impact For Opossums Today.John,

Last week, we reached out about how important opossums are to our ecosystem.
Today, we're coming to you again for your support to protect opossums and other
misunderstood species.

Opossums are resistant to diseases like rabies, but these shy, nocturnal
marsupials can’t avoid the dangers of habitat fragmentation, roads and
development, and other kinds of human-wildlife conflict. That's why we need
dedicated friends of wildlife like you to step up.

Can opossums count on you to make a matched gift right now?

[[link removed]]John,

Opossums are protectors, not pests. Did you know that one opossum can consume around 5,000 ticks in a single
season?

These unfussy omnivores eliminate disease-carrying ticks and clean up our
ecosystems by eating rotting plants and dead animals. We’re working to change
public perception of opossums— but we can’t do it without your help .

Can opossums count on you today? We’re matching every dollar you give before
midnight on December 31 to ensure we can fully fund our education initiatives
and every wildlife priority in 2021.

YES, OPOSSUMS CAN COUNT ON ME!

[[link removed]]Opossums are nature’s pest control and cleanup crew, but many people don’t
realize they’re essential, and may even try to harm them. Our education programs
help inform people about misunderstood wildlife species like opossums, but we
need to reach our Million Dollar Match goal by midnight on December 31 to fully
fund all of our essential programs.

That’s why we need your help and your double-matched gift to support
conservation and our work educating the public about vital species like
opossums.

[[link removed]]Despite popular belief that opossums are aggressive and spread diseases,
America’s only native marsupials are resistant to diseases like rabies. This
gentle, misunderstood species keeps our ecosystems healthy and keeps humans safe
from disease, but they aren’t immune to habitat destruction and other
human-caused dangers.

Please give now to help us protect opossums and educate people about wildlife in
2021 and beyond. If you give before midnight on December 31, your gift will go
twice as far!

Opossums and all of America’s wildlife are depending on your generosity. Thank
you for being a dedicated friend of wildlife.

With gratitude,

Matthew Kehres
