It’s a special kind of person who takes a stand for our wild world.

Maybe you’ve seen these heroes in your life: Those scientists, park rangers, community activists and others who see the harm being done to the vulnerable animals around us and dedicate themselves to making things right.

Defender, I know you too are that kind of hero. You have a passion for wildlife and wild places. Now I am asking you to take the next step for threatened and endangered animals and make a powerful, lasting difference:

Consider helping wildlife year-round by becoming a Wildlife Guardian! Choose the giving level that’s right for you, and join other wildlife champions whose monthly support is saving animals’ lives!

If you haven’t heard about our Wildlife Guardians, or are just now considering joining, here’s why your sustained monthly support has never been more urgent:  

Even as the Trump administration comes to an end, it leaves devastation in its wake. One of our top priorities right now is reversing the deadliest policies of this administration – but against entrenched anti-wildlife forces and years of assaults on critical environmental protections, we’ll need all the help we can get.

And the wildlife we love were in danger even before President Trump took office. That crisis has only become worse. Climate change threatens polar bears and countless other species. Scientists say we are already seeing the loss of species on a grand scale, with about a million species now threatened with extinction.

Our Wildlife Guardians are making a real difference by giving a voice to imperiled animals with no voice of their own. Your monthly support will ensure our expert team of scientists, lawyers, advocates and activists have the consistent support needed to demand action and protection for wildlife in courtrooms and in communities across the nation.

The best part: You’ll wake up every morning knowing that you’ve done your part to save the lives of wolves, bears, orcas, otters and so many more vulnerable animals counting on us for survival!
