Every single species clinging to survival has just been pushed closer to the brink.

Decimating the Endangered Species Act will destroy public lands, oceans, forests, and prairies. Animals and plants will pay for it with their lives.

The Trump administration escalated its assault on the wild by taking aim at the Act. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services and NOAA Fisheries, federal agencies charged with protecting wildlife, are moving forward with a habitat-destruction plan that's a blueprint for extinction.

Species teetering on the edge, like panthers and manatees, won't stand a chance.

Florida panthers, who used to range throughout the Southeast, are nearly penned in by sprawl and die at horrifying rates from vehicle collisions. If the Act is weakened, it'll be game over for these great cats. 

And they aren't alone — thousands of manatees have starved in recent years because their habitat is so polluted. 

We are ready for the fights ahead, and we need you with us. 

Please make your Giving Tuesday gift now to the Future for the Wild Fund, and it will be matched. Just head to the link in our bio and select this post!
