Something dangerous happens to the animals we love when we forget about them: They begin to disappear.

Missing from the headlines: A slate of newly elected legislators in Montana have their sights on gray wolves and have proposed bills that could have deadly consequences. In Alaska, polar bears are still in danger of losing critical habitat to Big Oil’s industrial invasion in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. And orcas continue to starve in the Pacific Northwest. The list of threats goes on.

The good news is there’s an easy way to make a strong, lasting difference for wildlife: Sign up today to become a Wildlife Guardian, and your monthly gift will go directly towards helping to restore and protect our wild world!

Defender, the past few years have been brutal for wildlife. Now it’s up to us to undo all of that damage to imperiled animals and the places they call home. That’s why we’re trying to find 200 new Wildlife Guardians – and it’s why I’m asking you to join us.

Defenders like you are helping to restore critical laws that protect wildlife such as the Endangered Species Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. They’re calling on the Biden administration to protect wildlife on public lands like the Arctic Refuge and the Kenai Refuge. And they’re helping to right the wrongs done to our wild world by the previous administration and corporate special interests.

You can join us in this critical fight! As a Wildlife Guardian, you’ll empower Defenders’ team of scientists, lawyers and lobbyists to give voice to imperiled animals that have no voice of their own. Your support will protect wildlife in the field, in courtrooms and in the halls of power every single day.
