July Wildlife Updates Curated Just for You!John,

The urgency of climate change demands that we transition – quickly, responsibly,
and equitably – to a clean energy future. We need to advance solutions that can
rise to the scale of our challenge. Offshore wind power is one of those solutions.

The urgency of climate change demands that we transition – quickly, responsibly,
and equitably – from a fossil fuel dependent world to a clean energy future. We
need to advance solutions that can rise to the scale of our challenge. Offshore
wind power is one of those solutions, and states along the Atlantic Coast are
preparing to power millions of homes and businesses with its clean, local power.

Importantly, we are also at the table ensuring wildlife are protected every step
of the way. From choosing the right locations to negotiating construction
schedules that accommodate the migration of critically endangered North Atlantic
right whales - and much in between - we are speaking up for birds, marine
wildlife, and communities.

Offshore wind power can and must be part of an energy future that allows
wildlife and people to thrive. One we can all be proud of. To learn more and to
help us seize the opportunity off our shores, please visit offshorewind.nwf.org [[link removed]] .

Thank you for all that you do for wildlife.

Sincerely,

Amber Hewett,
