Dear John,
1 million plant and animal species are on the brink of extinction.
That alarming statistic comes from a recent UN report, which paints a bleak picture of declining biodiversity linked to humans exploiting our environment.
From gray wolves to sea turtles to the iconic bald eagle, endangered wildlife is at risk of being wiped out. At Friends of the Earth, we’re not going to let these species and the ecosystems they depend on disappear forever. But we need your help to save them before it’s too late!

With Trump in the White House, endangered wildlife is facing an uphill battle to recovery. His administration is committed to the Trump Extinction Plan -- rolling back bedrock Endangered Species Act protections for our environment and wildlife every chance they get.
Trump wants to clear the way for Big Oil and Gas projects. He’s trying to make it easier to remove vulnerable species from the list and harder to protect more species from climate change. These changes would surely lead to more fossil fuel projects where endangered species live -- like the Keystone XL pipeline, which threatens the whooping crane.
The good news is, Congress is fighting back. Recently, legislators introduced a new bill to repeal Trump’s Extinction Plan -- “The PAW and FIN Conservation Act.” This is the legislation we need to protect our wildlife.
Together, we can build support for this bill and stop Trump’s attacks on endangered species. The problem is, our Representatives are facing pressure from Donald Trump and Big Oil cronies to do nothing. That’s why it’s so important that you join us in fighting back. It’s going to take every one of us acting NOW if we want to save polar bears, sea turtles, bald eagles and more.
Help stop Trump from gutting Endangered Species Act protections: Donate $10 or more before it’s too late!

We’re going up against huge corporations and their powerful friends in the Trump administration -- a daunting task. But with Friends of the Earth members like you at our side, I know we can win this fight and save endangered wildlife.
We have a comprehensive plan to stem the attacks on the Endangered Species Act:
- This summer, nearly 10,000 Friends of the Earth Members like you signed up to deliver letters to Congressional offices demanding your Representatives stand up to Trump’s Extinction Plan. The pressure is working -- the PAW and FIN Act shows that Congress is starting to act.
- We’re mobilizing to add new insect species like the Mojave Poppy Bee and the Franklin’s Bumble Bee to the Endangered Species List. Insects are essential to our food system, and these bees pollinate endangered plant species as well. Scientists are warning that if we don’t stem insect declines, we could face a “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems.” So we’re pulling out all the stops -- sending over 50,000 comments to the Fish and Wildlife Service -- to protect these nearly-extinct bees.
- Our legal team and organizers across the country are working to stop fossil fuel projects like the Keystone XL Pipeline, which put endangered species at risk. If we can stop Big Oil drilling projects from cutting through endangered wildlife habitat, we can simultaneously prevent these species from going extinct and make progress toward phasing out fossil fuels.
Since it was first passed in 1973, the Endangered Species Act has been one of our most effective environmental laws. It has prevented the extinction of 291 species -- a 99% success rate.
But Trump doesn’t care about helping our environment, wildlife, or communities around the country who depend on healthy ecosystems. So we’ve got to act fast before the UN’s alarming projection of a million species disappearing becomes reality.
Make a generous contribution today and help Friends of the Earth stop Trump’s attacks on the Endangered Species Act!
