Feeling Grateful

Dear John,
 
The world is a beautiful and biodiverse place, filled with natural wonders. Scientists believe there are 8.7 million species of plants and animals in existence. This biodiversity is the foundation of vital ecosystems that provide us with fresh water, clean air, food security, and medicine…and it hangs in delicate balance.
 
Without keystone species like elephants, lions, and sharks, who are essential to establishing and maintaining their ecosystems, entire food webs could collapse. 
 
Without “forest guardians” like pangolins, who use their claws to excavate ant and termite nests for food, ecosystems would be overrun with insects that could destroy crops and soil health. 
 
Without coastal ecosystems like mangroves, seagrass beds, and salt marshes, which sequester more carbon per hectare than any other habitat on the planet, carbon in the atmosphere would skyrocket.
 
At WildAid, we know that when we protect one species, we protect them all—including our own.
 
See the WildAid difference.
 
This is why conservation work is so critical—work you make possible with your support. Without you, none of our successes would be possible. 
 
Thank you for helping WildAid safeguard wildlife, marine areas, and key habitats worldwide. 
 
With your generous support, we are making a difference for which we can all be grateful!
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
