Weâre just days away from the final day in our fiscal year, and we set an urgent goal to raise $50,000 in critical wildlife funding. What happens between now and then will determine how weâre able to respond to the latest attacks against wolves, bears and other vulnerable animals! We believe wildlife deserve to thrive â and we need to know that you believe it, too. If just four more defenders from your area pitch in, weâll gain much-needed momentum that will help us save even more lives!

[Mother Bear and Cubs in the Forest © LuCaAr/istock]( Brandy, When the wild animals you love â majestic wolves, birds, whales, bears and more â are in danger, who comes to their rescue? Defenders of Wildlife is made up of the fieldâs most committed scientists, legal experts, activists, advocates and more, working around the clock to identify threats to our nationâs wildlife and find solutions that keep them safe. The support of members like you has saved countless wild lives. Victory wouldnât be possible without you! But we only have a few days left in our fiscal year, and the numbers donât lie â weâre going to need more resources to hold off the latest wave of attacks in Congress, hostile state legislatures and more! Weâre setting an urgent goal to hold the line: If our supporters can raise $50,000 by September 30th, weâll have the funding we need to keep our most vulnerable animals safe in the months to come! [Join the defense: Make your most generous gift now to protect gray wolves, whales, grizzlies, polar bears and so many more animals from being harmed or killed!]( Brandy, itâs shocking what the enemies of wildlife are trying to get away with. We canât afford to fall behind in our fight against threats like: - This Congress launching over 110 attacks on the Endangered Species Act that would leave this life-saving law in tatters and imperiled wildlife even more vulnerable to extinction; - Big Oil pushing to exploit the Arctic for profit, including critical habitat for polar bears already on the brink; and, - An extremist-led effort to gut federal protections for gray wolves in Congress, at the same time the government is turning its back on wolves! [DEFEND WILDLIFE IN DANGER!]( Weâre counting on you to keep us in these fights. Our experts are already spread thin combatting these attacks â but we will never turn on our back on the wildlife that needs us most. We have to fight for their future, TODAY. If you can, please: [Be a hero for wildlife under siege by making your most generous gift before midnight on September 30th!]( These are trying times for our nationâs wildlife â thank you for being their champion.
