Take Action




Please help save critically endangered right whales from deadly
threats.

Defender of Wildlife-

We've received catastrophic news for recovering right whales: the
Maine congressional delegation has asked President Trump to block
desperately needed whale protections!

On behalf of special interests, they're asking President Trump to
prevent the development of new regulations to protect right whales
from deadly entanglements in fishing gear.

We don't have time to play politics with right whale protections.
Every death brings this species closer to extinction!

Time is running out to save these whales - please help with a
generous gift while you can still make a difference!

Dear Defender of
Wildlife,

A brutal string of right whale deaths has wildlife lovers heartbroken
and the crisis isn't over yet.

A 40-year-old grandmother was killed when a ship struck her. Her death
was followed by that of a nine-year-old male, a 34-year-old
grandfather...and by the time June was over, six adult right whales
had been killed by human activities.

Urgent! Support right whales today. Your donation will protect right
whales and other imperiled animals.

Now there's an emerging new deadly threat to whales: oil
companies seeking to conduct deafening seismic testing for offshore
drilling exploration in right whale habitat.

And Defender of
Wildlife, once these species go
extinct, we'll lose them forever.

Whales and dolphins use sound to communicate with their mates and
their young and to find food. The explosive sonic bursts involved in
seismic testing would add round-the-clock deafening blasts. Imagine a
mother and her newborn calf being separated because they cannot hear
one another - for vulnerable calves, separation means death.

That's why we've gone to court to prevent risky seismic
blasting.

SAVE RIGHT WHALES >>

Besides fighting deadly seismic testing, your support will help us
advocate for the SAVE Right Whales Act - a measure to protect
the whales from ship collisions and entanglement.

Last year, not a single right whale calf was born. This year brought a
remarkable seven new calves, but with whale deaths outpacing births,
the population is in freefall.

Your urgent donation will help support our urgent efforts to save
right whales and other imperiled wildlife.

Defender of
Wildlife, every death pushes these
majestic animals closer and closer to the point of no return.

Please help while there's still time.

For the whales,

Jane Davenport
