Hi Friends, We have been hard at work over the last couple of months figuring out how best to fight for Nevada's bears in honor of Jasper. We are happy to say that we now have a plan in place, and will be launching a month of actions to promote bear awareness in Northern Nevada during the month of September, as well as to speak out about the evil bear hunt, which begins September 15th. One element of our project involves sending large 6.5" x 11" postcards to all 15,000 residences located in bear country. The front of the postcard is the image sent with this message, while the back contains important information on how residents can help to keep bears safe by being mindful of their habits at home, so that no other bear suffers the tragic fate that Jasper did. Unfortunately, we are $1,000 short of the $4,000 we need to make this project a reality. Can you help save Nevada's bears? Donations of ANY amount are greatly appreciated and can be made at: cwint.org/donate. All donations are tax-deductible. Thank you for your commitment to protecting Nevada's wildlife, and for being a voice for bears! For the animals, Carrie LeBlanc, M.A. Executive Director CompassionWorks International
