[[link removed]]When springtime dawns, hibernating mama bears and their cubs will prepare to
emerge from their long winter hibernation. But as a weakened mama bear uses the
little energy she has to find food for her babies, she can soon be caught in the crosshairs of hunters in the Northern Rockies. Special interests are working hard to delist these iconic creatures as an
endangered species -- just so they can hunt them. Stop hunters from killing vulnerable grizzly bears and make your $27
tax-deductible contribution now to protect them and our planet. When you do,
your gift will be matched dollar for dollar up to $800,000 -- but only until
midnight on December 31!

Trophy hunters may soon take advantage of the lethargic and underfed grizzlies
in their inhumane hunt if they get their way. But this doesn’t mean danger for
mama bears only -- the consequences will be far-reaching.

Bear cubs rely on their mothers for at least two years. If these mama bears are
killed, their babies will be ORPHANED, left to starve, freeze, or be easy prey
for other predators.

[[link removed]]Idaho and Montana have some of the worst hunting practices. They were quick to
reinstate grizzly hunts when the Trump administration briefly removed ESA
protections for the vulnerable species and are now working to do the same in
order to appease the trophy hunting lobby and private interests who only care about
mining, logging, and drilling for profit.

The premature delisting will cause havoc on grizzly populations, the likes of
which we’ve only seen once before in the direst of circumstances.

You see, grizzly bears were once abundant, roaming the continental U.S. with as
many as 50,000 in the western half. But reckless human activity, like hunting and trapping, and habitat loss
decimated their numbers to as little as 1,000 in the lower 48 states by 1975, when they were finally given protections.

Now we are seeing this scenario play out again, Friend.
Private interests are working to remove protections so they can kill bears and
take over the lands they call home -- all to turn a profit. We can’t allow
history to repeat itself when we have so much to lose -- bears, their habitats,
and the future of our planet.

Stop trophy hunters from killing mama bears. Protect grizzlies, their babies,
and our planet and make your $27 contribution today while our match is still
available.

[[link removed]]Bears are intelligent creatures who enhance biodiversity, enrich soils, regulate
prey populations, and transport nutrients through different ecosystems as they
make their way through vast swaths of wilderness. The removal of protections
could cause devastating impacts not only on the species but also on their
surrounding environment.

I need you in this fight if bears are going to stand a chance. Your membership
support to Friends of the Earth today will allow us to take a stand against
private interests who want to hunt down vulnerable species like bears, wreak
havoc on their environments, and are destroying our planet.

There is no time to lose. Iconic species like grizzlies are being targeted and
need our help. Join the fight for our precious bears before they are hunted down
for sport and profit, and protect the planet with your tax-deductible
contribution of $27 or more today!

Bear cubs may soon be left to starve or freeze to death. Protect them and our
planet with your $27 contribution today when you can have double the impact.
