Less than 72 hours left to double your gift to fight plastic in freshwater.
[[link removed]]John,

First, we told you about marine debris choking our oceans.

Then, we told you about microplastics contaminating the Arctic.

Now, we need your help to fight freshwater plastic pollution. Will you join our
fight?

John, less than two percent of all research
on wildlife entanglement in plastic focuses on freshwater systems— but around four million tons of plastic passes along the world’s rivers every year . We can’t afford to ignore the damage all that plastic is doing to our
waterways.

That’s why we’re matching every gift up to $25,000 to fund our efforts to
address threats like ocean AND freshwater plastic pollution.

I WANT TO END PLASTIC POLLUTION
[[link removed]]

A disturbing new study found that our largest freshwater animals have declined
by almost 90% in four decades since 1970. That’s twice the rate we’re losing
land or ocean vertebrates. Until August 31, your gift will have twice the impact for wildlife like the
Florida manatee.

Climate change and habitat destruction are already pushing large aquatic
wildlife to the brink of extinction. Plastic pollution could be the final nail
in the coffin for imperiled species.

But there is hope, John: The new study
cites success stories like the American beaver that prove the effectiveness of
diligent conservation efforts. That’s why we need every available resource to end plastic pollution and
address every threat to America’s wildlife.

John, the matching gift opportunity ends in
72 hours. Will you double your impact for vulnerable species like the alligator
snapping turtle?

Plastic pollution is doing untold damage to our waters, our air, our wildlife,
and our own bodies. We’re not waiting around for more species to decline and
disappear. We’re fighting back—and we need you to join our fight to stop the wildlife
extinction crisis and end plastic pollution.

Thank you for all that you do to help wildlife thrive.
