A Note From Travis:

With our natural world facing unprecedented threats, Defenders of Wildlife is focused on the urgent conservation work that must be done. We must protect critical funding and defend vital programs that save vulnerable ecosystems. We must engage and empower the next generation of conservation leaders to speak up for wildlife. And we must always let science and fact lead the way in everything we do. All this, and more, is directly supported by you, our Wildlife Ambassadors - conservation leaders who support and inform the organization, and who serve as stewards for the future of wildlife.

On behalf of everyone at Defenders of Wildlife, thank you for the generosity and leadership you provide.
