Hi John,

Polar bears spend more than half their time during the winter looking for food. They hunt for their prey on sea ice that's rapidly vanishing.

As a result they're getting thinner, fasting longer, and having fewer cubs.

There's no time to lose. Please help by giving to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. Just three days remain to double your gift.

The threats to biodiversity on Earth are directly linked to human activity.

Polar bears can't escape the warming climate, which melts their habitat and makes it harder to find food and rest.

Whales get caught in fishing gear, mountain lions are killed by vehicle strikes, and manatees can't eat enough to avoid starving because polluted waters kill their food.

On average, wildlife populations have fallen by more than two-thirds over the past 50 years.

To fight the extinction crisis, imperiled species urgently need a lifeline.

That means restoring the Endangered Species Act to its full power after it was weakened by the Trump administration. We're pushing the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to act swiftly.

At the same time, western populations of gray wolves, alligator snapping turtles, cactus ferruginous pygmy owls, Miami tiger beetles and more than 400 others are hovering in limbo waiting for lifesaving protections.

Most species wait about nine years for decisions on receiving Endangered Species Act protection. More than 45 U.S. species are now gone forever because they weren't helped in time.

With the extinction crisis deepening by the hour, such delays are intolerable.

We can't stand by as more habitat gets lost, more species get pushed to the brink, and more ecosystems collapse.

The Center was founded for this moment. Our team of lawyers, scientists and activists are working every day to save wildlife and our natural world.

You can help with a matched gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
