Dear NRDC Activist,
Endangered species are facing threats from all angles:
The industrialization of lands and the clearcutting of ancient forests are destroying vital habitats. Overfishing and exploitation are causing rapid population declines. And out of control climate change is further driving a biodiversity crisis that threatens our entire planet.
Wildlife in peril, like the polar bear and Florida panther, have nowhere to turn.
And so, we're turning to you. Please give to our year-end fundraising campaign to help us save critically endangered species and protect our environment. Your donation of $5 will be TRIPLE MATCHED, up to $400,000, but only until 12/31.
Across the Arctic, polar bears are growing skinny and weak as sea ice and their frozen habitat melt away. Make a TRIPLE MATCHED donation of $5 to help save polar bears from extinction >>
Fewer than 200 Florida panthers remain, yet they face continued threat from developers who want to turn critical habitats into an industrial waste zone. Donate $5 now and your gift will be 3x matched to help save the Florida panther from disappearing forever >>
Critically endangered North Atlantic right whales are struggling to survive in the face of fishing gear entanglements, vessel strikes, noise pollution, and other threats. Make 3x the impact to help us defend the most critically endangered species like the North Atlantic right whale >>
Once one of the most common bumblebees in the U.S., the rusty-patched bumblebee has sadly lost almost 90 percent of its range in the past 20 years from habitat loss, climate change, pesticide use, and other threats. Donate $5 now to TRIPLE your impact to help us save the rusty-patched bumblebee and other pollinators from dying off >>
The numbers are grim: Scientists have warned that one million plant and animal species are at risk of extinction in the coming decades if something doesn't change.
We refuse to let that happen and will fight polluters, developers, and governments to secure the protections endangered species need to survive. Because the truth is, our survival depends on it too.
But we can't do this work without your support.
Please donate $5 today before we lose endangered species forever and with them, our vital biodiversity. Your gift will be TRIPLED, up to $400,000.
Remember, every gift is 100% tax-deductible.
Thanks for all that you do.
Sincerely,
NRDC
