This Giving Tuesday, give the gift of hope to wildlife and wild places.

With so many species hovering at extinction's edge, helping to stop those extinctions is a gift to generations to come. We need your support now more than ever. 

Please support the Center for Biological Diversity's ongoing fight for the wild with a gift to the Saving Life on Earth Fund. All gifts today will be matched dollar for dollar.

More than 45 U.S. species have winked out forever waiting for Endangered Species Act protection.

And now western populations of gray wolves, alligator snapping turtles, cactus ferruginous pygmy owls, Miami tiger beetles and nearly 400 others are hovering in limbo. They have no time left to lose.

Dozens of species waiting for protection under the Endangered Species Act were due decisions from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service this year but didn't get them.

And while the Service did protect 45 species this past year, all but one of those decisions were driven by Center for Biological Diversity legal actions.

The extinction crisis calls us to fight for each and every species. That's why the Saving Life on Earth Fund was created — and why your support is critical.

We won't send you a tote bag or bumper sticker, but we will fight tooth and nail for every species, large and small.

As long as the government leaves wildlife helpless to survive, we'll keep going to court to fight back.

And we'll keep winning. Thanks to our legal work, this year the Center:

• Protected North Atlantic right whales from fishing gear entanglements and vessel strikes.
• Kicked trespassing cattle out of sensitive and federally protected habitats in the Southwest.
• Safeguarded habitat for Canada lynx, drinking water, and our climate from a 35,000-acre fracking project on Colorado public land.
• Forced the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to revise critical habitat for Florida manatees.
• Defended freshwater species and winning Endangered Species Act protection for three southeastern crayfishes, sickle darters, and lesser prairie chickens.

Every lawsuit, every court order, every legislative victory will stand as a testimony to your love of the wild.

We've been doing this work for more than three decades. In that time, we've protected more than 740 animals and plants along with more than half a billion acres of habitat.

But so much more remains to be done.

Please help sustain these fights with a matched gift today to the Saving Life on Earth Fund.
