 | | |  | | Kathleen, we recently told you about the critical ongoing fight for endangered animals worldwide. Today, we're sounding the alarm for seven especially at-risk species: sea turtles. | | These living fossils might seem immortal — they have spent their long lifespans paddling about the planet in some form for the last 260 million years. They swam steadfast as the continents shifted, the dinosaurs came and went, and our early ancestors took their first steps on two feet. | | … But despite their long history, human activity has driven them to the brink. So while slow and steady might win the race, our planet's precious sea turtles won't beat the countdown to extinction if we don't speed to their rescue. Will you please donate $10 today to support all of Greenpeace USA's crucial work, including the fight to protect endangered animals worldwide? | | | | From the moment they scuttle out from the sand, dodging predators in search of the waves, sea turtles never have it easy. While they can live over 100 years, that's only if they're the one in every 1,000 to actually make it to adulthood and survive countless challenges along the way. | | The risks to survival are countless: they can fall prey to industrial fishing, choke on our plastic waste, lose nesting sites to reckless coastal development, and succumb to oil spills, pollution, and poachers. And the climate crisis is adding new threats on top of those that have already pushed sea turtles towards extinction. | | With all these stressors and more, it's no shock that all seven sea turtle species are endangered. And if the tides don't start turning now, they may not even make it another century. | | Thanks to your help in securing the Global Oceans Treaty, we've won protections for 30% of the oceans as marine sanctuaries, where they'll someday return from the road to extinction. | | With your urgent donation before the end of World Turtle Day, you can help Greenpeace USA ensure they stay afloat for many millennia to come — so please, Kathleen, rush $10, $20, or anything you can to ensure that sea turtles live to enjoy a liveable future alongside us on the planet we all call home. | | | | Thank you,
Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
