Scientists predict a million species of plants and animals will disappear forever in the coming years unless we make a dramatic effort to reverse the damage. To save wildlife and wild places we must work together – globally – to make changes on a scale greater than any we’ve attempted before.

Next Wednesday is World Wildlife Day, the annual global celebration of life on Earth. It’s a time to honor the species who share our world – and to recommit ourselves to addressing and reversing the dangers they face, like climate change, habitat destruction and more.

That’s why we’re setting a goal to raise $50,000 in conservation funding by World Wildlife Day on March 3rd. Together we can make a powerful difference for wolves, whales, jaguars, bears and more.

Celebrate life on Earth with a generous gift in defense of vulnerable animals! Help us raise $50,000 by World Wildlife Day to power life-saving efforts to protect the wildlife who need us most!

Already we see magnificent animals like the Asian elephant, the Northern white rhinoceros, and North America’s own red wolf teetering on the brink of extinction. Tremendous storehouses of life like coral reefs and tropical forests are disappearing with terrifying speed. All around us, things are getting worse.

We can’t take wildlife for granted – our future is inextricably linked. You and I depend on countless other species for the air we breathe, the food we eat and the clean water we drink. That’s why it’s so critical that we all stand together right now to save our species!

Make your gift today in honor of World Wildlife Day, and you will make a powerful difference for the animals depending on us for survival!
