John,
The whales swimming along our coasts need you.
Entanglement in fishing gear and marine debris, vessel strikes, ocean noise, and pollution—along with impacts from offshore drilling—are constant threats to the survival of cherished whales found in our coastal waters. Will you help before our critical end of year deadline?
Please make a donation to the National Wildlife Federation right away. Help raise $1,000,000 before Dec 31st to step up the defense of declining whales and other wildlife at risk.
As it turns out, not only do whales need us—we need whales. New research shows that over their lifetime, whales absorb a significant amount of climate-driving carbon pollution. In fact, it is estimated if whales in our oceans recover to pre-whaling numbers, they could play a role in preventing a climate catastrophe.
Because of the urgency of these threats to wildlife, our Board of Directors and President’s Leadership Council have offered a special matching gift challenge that will DOUBLE the impact of your donation—but only until December 31st. Don’t wait—give right now!
With help from friends of wildlife like you, the National Wildlife Federation is working to bring the resources needed to coastal states and partners so they can protect and help vulnerable whales recover. In one year alone, more than 50 humpback whales off the coasts of California, Washington, and Oregon suffered from becoming entangled in fishing gear!
Your donation will also be crucial to help speed the recovery of one of the most endangered whales in the world, the North Atlantic Right Whale. Please join with us as we focus on assisting states along the Atlantic seaboard address and overcome the threats facing a species whose numbers have dwindled to less than 400.
Please give today to help whales and other vulnerable wildlife. Your gift will be TWICE AS POWERFUL during our year end matching gift challenge.
Thank you for giving generously for the future of wildlife.
