This Week: Vote for Lynx!

Significant populations of lynx are thought to exist only in Montana and Washington. But, with the help of caring people like you, we can work to restore lynx in other parts of the country where they’ve historically lived.

Help us secure the funds we need to protect lynx and other wildlife. Vote now for Defenders of Wildlife in the American Express Members Project.

Defenders of Wildlife has been selected as a possible recipient of $200,000 from the American Express Members project, but we need your vote to win!

Two hundred thousand dollars can do a lot of good for lynx and other wildlife.

It can help us stop harmful development that would compromise lynx habitat. It can fund rewards to capture people who illegally kill these rare forest felines. And it can help us advocate for policies to address climate change that is threatening the very survival of these reclusive cats.

Defenders has been working for two decades to draw attention to the plight of the lynx, provide it with federal protection under the Endangered Species Act and protect critical lynx habitat.

Defenders of Wildlife is still ranked first in the environment and wildlife charities… and we still have a very good chance of winning $200,000 to help support our programs to save lynx and other wildlife.

But we can’t let up now. Just a few seconds of your time can help us win. Here’s how to vote….
