Dear Friend of
Defenders,

A days-old North Atlantic right whale calf has been severely injured
after being struck by a boat's propellers.

This is the first calf its mother, Derecha, has borne in a decade. And
these whales are so critically endangered, the loss of even one calf
is a devastating setback for the species.

Fight for endangered whales and other vulnerable animals with an
urgent donation of $15 or more to Defenders of Wildlife.

These are the stakes: Fewer than 400 North Atlantic right whales are
alive today.

News of this injury comes from the Florida Fish and Wildlife
Conservation Commission, which found that the calf had two
"parallel and s-shaped" wounds along its body, most likely
caused by boat propellers.

Boat strikes and entanglement in fishing gear are among the greatest
threats to these docile and slow-moving whales. These threats have
slashed the whales' life expectancy from over 70 years to just
30 years.

Support common-sense whale and wildlife protections with your gift of
$15 or more, while we can still save these whales!

Your urgent support will help us ramp up the campaign to pass the SAVE
Right Whales Act, a law that would provide money to invest in
technologies to save right whales from being injured and killed by
ships and fishing gear. We are also fighting in court to protect right
whales from deadly entanglements.

Make sure these whales get the protection they need with your support
right now!

All around us, the animals we love are being driven closer to the
brink of extinction. It doesn't have to be this way: With your
help, we can stop preventable wildlife tragedies like this one!
