Help me protect wildlife and wild places!

Dear friend,

This is Sophie Shepheard. Yesterday my mom brought home a National Geographic magazine about certain wildlife species going extinct. I asked her to read it to me. We will read a little each night and talk about how these animals have become endangered, and how we can save them. I love animals - even more than presents. Please consider making a small donation this year for my birthday instead of giving ME something. I have what I need, but if we don’t do something now, we may not have rhinos anymore. I’d like to post signs all over the neighborhood, but my mom says this way will reach more people!

I am fundraising for World Wildlife Fund because I want to protect the future of nature.

Deforestation, climate change, water scarcity, and illegal wildlife trade. These are some of the threats facing our planet today—and no one person or group can tackle them alone. But if we work together, we can take on anything.

We can protect the very things that keep us alive: our forests, our oceans, our fresh water, our wildlife, our energy supply, our food supply. 

Please join me in this important work by making a donation today. 

Thank you for giving what you can.
