| | | Kathleen, | When our future grandkids ask about what life on Earth was like when we were their age, we'd to be able to say something like, "Nowhere near as healthy or sustainable as it is now." | But this daydream may never come true — because 48% of all species on the planet are set to go the way of the DINOSAURS if we don't act fast. | Soon, striking Sumatran tigers, mighty mountain gorillas, or even those curious ocean sunfish may only exist as relics of a bygone era. Our world won't be the same without them. But without you in the fight for biodiversity on World Animal Day this Friday, there may not be a choice. | That's why Greenpeace USA is counting on 15,000 grassroots advocates like you to sign the pledge to protect every creature that calls our planet home before time runs out. Will you please act fast for our animals' liveable future? >> | | Our planet is facing a full-blown extinction crisis. And whether by overhunting, overfishing, or overheating, shipping off their habitats to sawmills, pumping them full of plastic, and much more — all signs point to Homo sapiens as the ones to blame. | The extinction rate has accelerated by up to 1,000 times the historic one-per-million species yearly precedent. If we don't slow this rate down and save the creatures that keep the planet habitable for us, humanity could someday follow in their footsteps. | Luckily, there are steps we can take to reverse the tragic trajectory — like reducing consumption and pollution, increasing conservation and restoration efforts, switching to sustainable production models, and protecting 30% of the world's oceans by 2030 — as long as every human being is on board. | But greedy corporations and careless leaders won't be swayed without a tidal wave of public pressure. That's why this World Animal Day, Greenpeace USA is looking to card-carrying Greenpeacers like you for help to start the trend. | It's going to take all of us acting fast to build a future where every creature on Earth can not only survive but thrive. So Kathleen, will you sign your name to join in the fight for our planet's precious wildlife before time runs out? | | The planet is counting on you. | Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
