Celebrate a New Day for Wildlife! With more conservation-oriented leaders in the White House and Congress, Mexican wolves and other struggling wildlife will have a brighter tomorrow. RSVP now to join Defenders and other Tucson-area wildlife lovers to celebrate a new era for wildlife conservation on Thursday, November 20th! Help spread the word.  Forward this invitation on to others who might be interested in attending or bring a friend!

Dear Brandon,

I don’t know about you, but I think it’s high time we kick up our heels to celebrate the fast-approaching end of the most abysmal environmental administration in modern history -- and look forward to a new era filled with the promise of positive change for wildlife and the environment. 

That’s why I’m throwing a party at the Defenders office in Tucson next Thursday. 

RSVP now to join other Arizona wildlife lovers for appetizers, drinks and lots of fun! 

What:	Celebrate the Future of Wildlife with Defenders
When:	Thursday, November 20th from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m.
Where:	The Defenders of Wildlife Tucson Office La Placita Plaza - 110 South Church Street - Suite 4292

The threats to wildlife from the Bush administration are nearly behind us -- but new, uncharted challenges still lay ahead as we work to undo nearly a decade of environmental disaster. 

The Southwest is facing big challenges -- like climate change, extended draught and dramatic habitat loss -- that will need big ideas and real leadership to solve.

With help from a more environmentally-committed Congress and White House, we’ll have the opportunity to tackle global warming, give endangered species the protection they need and support wildlife conservation on our amazing public lands.

But make no mistake: real change needs to be people-powered.  It’s up to us to fight hard to reclaim a wildlife legacy for future generations, and it will take lots of defense and plenty of defenders! 
 
So, what are you waiting for?  Come out and join Defenders on Thursday to celebrate and explore the opportunities and challenges ahead, and find out how you can be a leader in a new era in wildlife conservation.  

Don’t forget to RSVP to let us know you’ll be there! 

Hope to see you soon,

Scotty Johnson Senior Outreach Representative for Arizona Defenders of Wildlife

Defenders is calling on the new administration to:

• End the political manipulation of science.
• Responsibly manage America’s federal lands.
• Safeguard America’s rarest plants and wildlife.
• Make America a leader in addressing global warming and its impacts.
• Restore America’s role as a global leader in wildlife conservation.
• Restore our connection to nature through education and proper stewardship of public lands.
• Encourage private landowners, states and tribes to conserve wildlife and habitat.
