This year, US Fish and Wildlife officially released their proposal to remove Endangered Species protections for gray wolves in the entire lower 48, leaving endangered gray wolves vulnerable to mass hunts and harassment. Get a Gray Wolf with your monthly donation >

Sea otters in Alaska's Tongass National Forest need our help as the Trump administration just released its plan to undermine important conservation rules, strip protections for the 800-year-old trees, and open over 9 million acres of the forest to Big Timber's clearcutting. Get a Sea Otter with your monthly donation >

Fewer than 120 Florida panthers still remain, and increasing loss of habitat from development (they've already lost 95% of their traditional habitat), sea level rise, and panther mortality continue to push this cat to the brink. Get a Florida Panther with your monthly donation >

Protect polar bears in the Arctic Refuge, where the Trump administration plans to hold the first-ever lease sale for oil drilling in early 2020. Already stressed by climate change, this loss of critical habitat would be disastrous for the bears. Get a Polar Bear with your monthly donation >

Endangered sea turtles are losing their protected sea and sand homes to storms magnified by climate change. On top of this, they would be impacted by Endangered Species Act changes that allow agencies to ignore climate change impacts when considering species and habitat protections.

Wildlife can't wait. Adopt a Wild Animal as a monthly donor to support wildlife every day, and we'll send you the plush free.
