Hi John,
At least 783 Florida manatees have died this year. They're starving to death because polluted water is killing the seagrass they feed on.
They've got no time to lose, so we're in court to get manatees fully protected under the Endangered Species Act.
We're fighting each day for the wildlife we love. Please make a matched gift now to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. All gifts through tomorrow night will be doubled.
All told, in 2022, we won lifesaving protections for 45 species under the Act, including lesser prairie chickens, magnificent ramshorn snails, foothill yellow-legged frogs, and Hermes copper butterflies.
We secured a landmark ruling that restored federal protection to gray wolves outside the northern Rockies and sued to win back Endangered Species Act protection for wolves that remain in the crosshairs in Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
After a decade-long fight, we achieved Endangered Species Act protection for emperor penguins.
We kicked trespassing cattle out of sensitive and federally protected habitats in the Southwest.
And we filed a groundbreaking petition to reintroduce jaguars to New Mexico and protect 14 million acres as critical habitat in Arizona and New Mexico.
But there's so much more to be done.
Next year we'll keep pushing to have the extinction and climate crises declared national emergencies. Our goal is to double the amount of protected land and water. And we must restore the Act to its full power.
The Center has secured Endangered Species Act protection for more than 740 species and more than half a billion acres of critical habitat.
Saving the natural world's biodiversity is the fight of a lifetime. With our love for the wild, there's so much we can do and protect.
So please — double your gift now to our Saving Life on Earth Fund. All gifts through tomorrow night will be matched dollar for dollar.
For the wild,
