Friend of Wildlife,

We’re suing the Trump administration on behalf of endangered species like ocelots. Removing the harm definition under the Endangered Species Act is unlawful. And it makes absolutely no sense, because habitat destruction is the main threat to most listed species.

You can personally support our work to protect the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and wildlife like ocelots right now. Can ocelots count on your gift today?

Narrowing the interpretation of “harm” to exclude habitat modification will not change the reality: Wildlife cannot survive without the shelter, access to food, and safe places to rear their young provided by habitat.

Ocelots were once widespread across the southwest, but today, the two known breeding populations in the United States are only found in a small corner of west Texas—with fewer than 100 individuals remaining.

That’s why we’re taking the Trump administration to court, and why we’re asking for your help and your $30 today. Will you join our fight to save the ESA for ocelots and other imperiled wildlife?

Ocelots are facing an uphill battle to survive crossing the roads that divide their dwindling thornscrub habitat. Now it is up to us to save this elusive wildcat and other at-risk species before they disappear completely from the United States.

Today, vehicle collisions are the leading cause of death for American ocelots, responsible for an estimated 40% of ocelot deaths, as the loss and fragmentation of their thornscrub habitat forces them to risk their lives to cross roads and highways. Ocelots are already suffering because of habitat loss, and it’s likely to get worse with the administration’s new interpretation that does not treat habitat modification as harm to species.

Will you pitch in today to support our critical work defending the ESA and other programs that will help protect imperiled species like ocelots?

If this action is not reversed, restoring the crucial protections against habitat destruction, we could lose ocelots and other at-risk species forever. Please give now and help us prevent this fate.
