Rush Your Gift: Oil-soaked sea otters

Image
  2X Your Impact for Sea Otters! It’s heartbreaking to think about: At one point, sea otters were almost entirely wiped out along our western coasts. The good news is that today, otters are making slow progress off the coasts of California and the Pacific Northwest, returning to waters where they haven’t been seen in generations. It’s a sign of beautiful things to come –   but a new proposal to expand offshore oil drilling near California poses a deadly threat that could set back otter recovery by decades. Before the Trump administration’s reckless drilling expansion has a chance to poison our waters and sicken our most vulnerable animals, we’re taking action to stop it! Join our defense against reckless attempts to open up protected coastlines to a massive expansion in offshore drilling. Every dollar you can give goes 2X as far to shore up our defenses and help us speak up on behalf of animals in harm’s way! Sincerely, Defenders of Wildlife         Defende...

Your Signature Needed: Sea otters, bears, and other vulnerable wildlife still need you in this fight

  A VICTORY FOR WILDLIFE:  Because of activists like you, we  STOPPED  H.R. 1897 from going to a vote in the House — securing a major victory for the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the thousands of species it protects!  Now, help us build on the momentum by standing up for vulnerable wildlife before the next attack → Together, we proved something important: when people show up, speak out, and demand better, it works.   Lawmakers are paying attention — and this win shows that public pressure can make the difference between protection and harm. But we must also remember that a win today doesn’t mean our most vulnerable species will be safe tomorrow.   Attacks on the ESA aren’t going away. And we’ve already seen how aggressive Trump and his anti-wildlife cronies can be when given the chance. They’re not backing down. They’re regrouping.   H.R. 1897 could resurface again in the future. And behind the scenes, new proposals are likely already taking s...

This isn’t conservation — it’s cruelty.

  🛑 We need to stop this. 🛑 Take Action Right Now: Pitch In Wolves are being brutally slaughtered —  and anti-wildlife Republicans are making it worse. States like Montana are ramping up horrifying hunting practices that could spell disaster for wolves and entire ecosystems. Just look at what they’re allowing: 🪤  Steel traps crush bones and cause agonizing pain , leaving wolves to suffer for hours or even days. 🪢  Neck snares slowly strangle wolves to death , cutting off blood flow and oxygen as they struggle for life. ⚠️  And these traps don't just kill wolves :  Endangered animals like grizzlies and lynx fall prey to these indiscriminate traps too. This isn’t conservation —  it’s cruelty.  And it doesn’t just harm wolves. By targeting apex predators, these practices disrupt entire ecosystems, threatening the delicate balance of our natural world. Right now, with MAGA extremists and Big Oil-backed Republicans in charge, these barbaric practic...
