            Donald Trump just launched a devastating new attack on 
endangered species that could set off a global extinction crisis. And 
together WE are going to stop him.

            Right now, one of the world’s strongest wildlife laws protects 
hundreds of species – from grizzly bears and sea otters to sperm whales and 
polar bears. But Trump is moving quickly to rewrite the rules so that 
destroying an endangered animal’s habitat no longer counts as harming it.

            It would be one of the biggest rollbacks of wildlife protections 
in HISTORY – which is why Ekō is launching a massive global campaign to stop 
this attack.

            Together, tens of thousands of us already overwhelmed a public 
comment period and now our rapid response team is getting ready to massively 
scale up. If all of us chip in we could work every connection we have in DC, 
unleash winning legal strategies to stop this plan from ever becoming 
reality, and power grassroots organising wherever it’s needed.

            We’re ready to launch, but campaigns like this take resources. 
Can you urgently chip in to power the resistance to stop Trump?

            Since the Endangered Species Act passed U.S. Congress in 1973, 
it’s been one of the most successful laws ever to exist, saving 99% of 
species it protects from extinction. It stopped majestic species like the 
bald eagle and humpback whale from being completely wiped out.

            But all Trump sees is profits – and so he’s hell bent on opening 
up protected lands to the highest bidder, paving the way for corporate 
destruction. Oil and gas giants would then be free to bulldoze forests, 
drain wetlands, and flatten ecosystems – and face zero consequences, even if 
species go extinct.

            A public comment period just ended and now Trump and his team 
are racing to finalize their proposal to quickly open more lands up for 
exploitation by Trump’s corporate friends.

            But here’s the thing: killing off precious species like polar 
bears is NOT a popular move. Momentum is building as the public begins to 
understand what Trump is doing – and now OUR movement can come together and 
power the legal action necessary to stop Trump in his tracks.

            This isn’t just about protecting vulnerable species – it’s about 
corporate greed, climate destruction, and a dangerous precedent that could 
put ecosystems around the world at risk.

            But the fight isn't over yet because we are just getting 
started. Can you urgently chip in to stop Trump’s attacks on our planet?
