TODAY is the ENDANGERED SPECIES DAY, and ONLY AROUND 173,000 JAGUARS REMAIN in the AMAZON. (RAINFOREST ACTION NETWORK)

 

The world’s biodiversity is in crisis, friend. Rainforests, homes to the most significant biodiversity in the world, are at risk too. Our mission is to stand up against the largest corporations in the world who are responsible for driving deforestation, human rights abuses, and the climate crisis. And these greedy polluters responsible aren’t just endangering the countless species who rely on rainforests for their existence, they are threatening to sacrifice communities’ livelihoods and the health of our planet, all for the sake of cheap materials. This Endangered Species Day, we uplift the significance of the world’s rainforests and hope you’ll support our work with a gift today. Given for endangered species Mahakam Ulu — an ancient watershed in East Kalimantan, Indonesia — is home to Proboscis monkeys, clouded leopards, Bornean orangutans, and Irrawaddy river dolphins, numbering fewer than 2501 by some estimates. From elephants, tigers, and rhinos in the Leuser Ecosystem of North Sumatra, Indonesia to the giant river otters, tapirs, and the estimated 173,000 jaguars2 across the Amazon rainforest, countless species struggle to survive every day. Unique aquatic biomes are drying up. Lush tree canopies are disappearing. And climate change has contributed to harsher and increasingly irregular weather, where the hots are hotter and dry spells are longer. Thanks to folks like you, we are working tirelessly to prevent deforestation and climate change that makes a bad situation even worse. Donating gives us the resources we need to continue our work. It helps us support partners on the ground, plan our campaigns, and fight against the massive corporations behind these destructive and poisonous projects. Because we’re in the field doing research on the shadiest parts of the supply chain we have what it takes to win the fight against the businesses we expose. Make today special For the sake of every endangered species that calls rainforests home, thank you.
