The Endangered Species Act is our most effective law for protecting imperiled wildlife – but anti-wildlife members in Congress continue to assault it and the species it protects. While still early in the new Congress, there have already been at least 14 attacks on this bedrock wildlife law, including attempts to delist our nation's most iconic animals like grey wolves and grizzly bears.

51 years ago today, the Endangered Species Act was signed into law! It is our strongest law for protecting imperiled wildlife and has helped recover species like sea turtles and the California condor. But today, we are looking down the barrel at major changes to this law, from the way it’s enforced to delisting of entire species – not on our watch.

It's been a brutal year for wolves. Gray wolves were officially stripped of their legal protections, and wolf hunts may come to more states. You're their last line of defense. For Giving Tuesday, make an emergency donation to help save the lives of wolves and other imperiled wildlife, and our Board of Directors and President's Circle will match it 3-for-1, up to $50,000. | Defenders of Wildlife

The administration just signed a death warrant on America’s largest population of polar bears. We’re filing a lawsuit to stop this madness. And that’s just one of dozens of lawsuits our legal team has or will have pending. Threatened and endangered species and their habitat are under siege across the country – but thanks to support from wildlife advocates like you, we’re fighting non-stop, and we’re winning. Help us fight to protect wildlife and wild lands before this 3x match ends! https://dfnd
