It has been an incredible journey over the last several months for the red wolves and their wildlife crossings fundraising campaign. Since the Center of Biological Diversity and the Wildlands Network announced fundraising for wildlife crossings three months ago, over $900,000 has been raised by a diverse group of people who believe in preserving red wolves in the wild; thank you so much for your enduring support!
While this is an impressive number, we need to keep pushing and raising money for these vital crossings; without grassroots support, wildlife crossings in red wolf country may never come to fruition. The time to act is now, if you can donate, every penny helps, if you can’t, spread the word, share this information among your family and friends, and let’s make sure wild red wolves have a safe haven for generations to come!
The deadline for this important campaign is August 31st! A generous donor has already pledged to contribute a $2 million match challenge for red wolf wildlife crossings, but we must raise an additional $2 million in committed matching funds by August 31st!
Thank you and please consider donating to this worthy cause!
Update: The fundraising deadline has been extended to October 31st!
