Happy Thanksgiving to all of our supporters! Thanks to YOUR efforts, we at Defenders have a lot to be thankful for this year…
Instead of facing another deadly hunting season this fall, wolves in Greater Yellowstone and the Northern Rockies once again enjoyed protections under the Endangered Species Act.
Polar bears, bowhead whales and other Arctic wildlife won a reprieve from Big Oil’s drills in the Chukchi Sea. And since Monday, more than 40,000 supporters have urged President Obama to continue to protect this special place and the wildlife that depends on it to survive.
Hundreds of prairie dogs were moved to a new home on the Great Plains—and away from the threat of poisoning.
In the wake of the worst offshore oil disaster in U.S. history, tens of thousands of Defenders supporters mobilized to pass the CLEAR Act in the House of Representatives—critical legislation to help reform offshore drilling and restore habitat in the Gulf—and nearly 30,000 supporters have urged the Senate to do the same.But we’re most thankful for the people who made possible these, and many more, wins for wildlife: YOU and the hundreds of thousands of caring Defenders of Wildlife supporters who work so hard to help us protect our wildlife and wild places.
P.S. Please download our free “I’m a Defender” wallpaper as a reminder of your dedicated support for our wildlife and the places it lives.
