Dear Friend of Defenders,

What the Trump administration is trying to do to Arctic wildlife is sickening.

We see Alaska as a wonderland of unspoiled wilderness: full of thriving wolf packs, vast herds of caribou, polar bears and flocks of migratory birds.

But to the Trump administration, protecting this rich habitat is getting in the way of profits for their friends in Big Oil and trophy hunters hoping to use extreme hunting practices.

These animals need friends of their own. Join us in taking a stand for Alaska wildlife right now, and our Board of Directors and President's Circle will match your gift 2-for-1, up to $150,000!

In less than three years, this administration has racked up a roster of deadly anti-wildlife policies.

You recently heard from us that the Interior Department is planning to lease the heart of the Arctic Refuge to Big Oil. And now, time is running out for the polar bears who call that coastal plain home.

And we're still outraged at the recent removal of a ban on "same-day airborne hunting" on Alaska refuges, where hunters chase down wolves and wolverines in planes and then land to shoot the exhausted animals.

Adding to the cruelty is another proposal to allow bears and wolves to be baited like vermin with garbage and doughnuts, shot in their dens with their young, and subjected to other extreme killing measures on Alaska's National Park Service lands.

But there's hope for Alaska's wildlife: Pitch in to fight back against attacks on these vulnerable animals right now and have your gift matched 2-for-1!

We know you want to help. We're making it easy for you to triple your impact by matching your gift 2-for-1 to save the Arctic wildlife we all love – but you only have until the last day of September to take advantage of this Alaska Triple Match!

Thanks for all you do, on behalf of the wildlife who depend on us.

Sincerely,

Jamie Rappaport Clark President, Defenders of Wildlife
