The clock is ticking for New Mexico’s wildlife

This is your last chance to help us reach our $20,000 goal

Hurry! Time is running out for you to get in your tax-deductible contribution for 2011. We still need to raise $7,500 by midnight to reach our goal. The wildlife and wild places in New Mexico are counting on your support. Please give now.

Species in peril

Help us preserve the habitat of endangered and threatened species in New Mexico such as the jaguar and Mexican gray wolf before it’s too late. Give online now.

There is something special and almost magical about wildlife that touches us at the very core of our being.

What would you do if you woke up tomorrow and the Mexican gray wolf vanished completely? What would the world be like if the jaguar, an animal almost synonymous with wilderness, disappeared forever?

This reality is not too far-fetched to imagine. Everyday our nation’s leaders push to take more and more land away from its wild inhabitants. From drilling to mining and other development, New Mexico’s wildlife isn’t immune to habitat loss.

If Geovic Mining Corp. gets its way, hundreds of animals in Otero Mesa could potentially be affected. If the Wilderness and Roadless Release Act, sponsored by New Mexico’s own Steve Pearce, were passed by Congress, our state’s wildlife could potentially lose 1.6 million acres of pristine habitat that we are working so hard to protect.

That’s why we need your generous gift today.

Your support not only helps us protect special places like Otero Mesa and Rio Grande del Norte, but it helps us ensure that our furry, scaly and feathery counterparts continue to have a place to call home in New Mexico.

Will you help us renew our promise to the animals that call New Mexico their home? This is your last chance to give a year-end tax deductible donation. Please help by giving online now.

With your help, we have reached 62 percent of our goal of $20,000, but we still need to raise $7,500 by midnight.

Give now to protect habitat for all of New Mexico’s precious wildlife.

Many endangered or threatened wildlife live within the regions that NM Wild is fighting to protect. Here are just a few:

  • Mexican gray wolf
  • Jaguar
  • Bald eagle
  • Aplomado falcon
  • Spotted bat
  • Sand dune lizard
  • Peregrine falcon
  • Lucifer hummingbird
  • Boreal owl
  • Baird’s sparrow
  • Bell’s and gray vireos
  • Chihuahua, Gila, Roundtail and Headwater Chub
  • Southern redbelly dace
  • Greenthroat darter
  • Pecos gambusia
  • Pecos pupfish
  • Spikedace
  • Mexican tetra
  • Gila topminnow
  • Gila trout

Help us fight to save the habitat that these species, and all of New Mexico’s wildlife, depend on to survive.

Over the past year NM Wild has submitted about 40 comments to federal agencies.

Several proposed agency actions for which we have submitted comments have focused on endangered species, including the five-year status review for the endangered Northern Aplomado Falcon, speed limit decreases on Padre Island National Seashore (Texas) to protect nesting sea turtles, and the controversial proposal to list the Sagebrush Sand-Dune Lizard in southeast New Mexico.

Give now to ensure we have the resources to continue protecting the state’s wildlife and their habitat.
