Defenders of Wildlife - Penguins
Penguin populations have decreased by nearly 80 percent in some areas, and the majority of scientists agree that rising temperature due to climate change is the primary culprit. Defenders of Wildlife is working with leaders on Capitol Hill and elsewhere to stop global warming and save penguins and their habitat.

Polar Bears
Climate change, which is causing the loss of older stable sea ice and the thinning, disappearance and moving offshore of older sea ice, is reducing essential polar bear habitats and is the great threat to their survival. In May 2006, the World Conservation Union added the polar bear to its Red List of the world’s most imperiled animals, predicting a 30% reduction in the polar bear population in the next 45 years. Defenders is working to develop a local and regional bear-awareness program to help minimize conflicts between people and polar bears.

Defenders of Wildlife - Manatees
Florida manatees – unique and gentle marine mammals, found mainly in coastal estuaries and rivers of Florida – are in danger. The large numbers of people living on Florida’s coasts are increasingly coming in contact with and causing harm to these fascinating animals. In 2006 there were 416 Florida manatee deaths, making it the worst year on record for manatee mortality. Watercraft led to 92 of these deaths, making it the second worst year for watercraft-related mortality. Defenders closely monitors manatee mortality statistics with an eye on reducing the threats to manatees in the wild. You can help support Defenders’ efforts with Manatees Series features checks, address labels, a contact card, a matching checkbook cover and debit wallet.
