John,

Just two days ago, the Trump administration undermined the Mercury and Air
Toxics rule, putting its future at risk and running counter to centuries of
scientific consensus on the health hazards of mercury.

We need your help more than ever to fight the effects of decisions that would
harm both humans and wildlife. Please donate whatever you are able to our Save Science to Save Wildlife
campaign.

Turning away from science will hurt people and wildlife.

And yet, that’s what the Environmental Protection Agency is proposing right now
with a wave of dangerous rollbacks to and suspensions of vital environmental and
public health protections.

At a time when both people and wildlife are under increasing threats, we cannot
continue down this path. Will you please chip in to help us fight for sound science that will protect
humans and wildlife?

Under the cover of the COVID-19 pandemic, when so many of us are focused on
other things, the Environmental Protection Agency has suspended enforcement of
key pollution standards and moved to expand and fast-track a proposal that will
limit the kind of scientific research that can be used in the federal rulemaking
process.

Critical scientific research is needed for smart decision making. If the EPA’s proposals are implemented, the agency could ignore the results of
upcoming public health and conservation research, and reduce the use of
longstanding, pivotal studies that have served as the foundation of policy for
decades.

What might that mean? For one, scientific studies could be ignored — like the
one that showed air pollution in cities was leading to premature deaths* — and
new pollution regulations would lack the scientific foundation needed to
adequately protect people and wildlife.

Will you please chip in to help us fight for sound science that will protect
humans and wildlife?

Here’s how your gift will support our vital work to create a future where people
and wildlife will thrive:

* Defending and promoting science-based policies that will help wildlife and
the air, land, and waters we share thrive
* Advancing science-based conservation and education programs in communities
across America
* Helping vulnerable species and their devastated habitats recover from the
brink

Please join our fight and donate today to support our Save Science to Save
Wildlife Campaign. We need $50,000 by April 30.
