Go Solar Power For Homes

Dear Friend,

There is less than one week left in the Conservation International year-end challenge. If you give Conservation International your support right now, loyal CI donors will match your gift dollar-for-dollar. 
 
Why should you support CI? Here are five good reasons:

1. The earth needs you now
Our planet is under threat. We are already witnessing devastating effects of climate change, including massive species extinctions, entire communities being displaced, and severe shortages of food and fresh water in some of the poorest parts of the world. These warnings demand that we take bold, swift action now before it’s too late.

CI is working to protect the earth’s natural ecosystems and to help provide immediate, sustainable climate change solutions. For instance, CI has led the effort to bring forest protection to the forefront of the global climate change debate.

An investment in CI is an investment in the future of our Earth and every living thing whose survival depends on it.

2. Living results
By supporting CI, you are helping to ensure a future for our living world. For instance, last Spring CI helped protect the vast seascape known as The Coral Triangle, located on the border of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. With CI’s assistance, six heads of state signed a groundbreaking agreement to protect this heart of the world’s oceans so that coral, fish, and 150 million people can thrive.

3. The real deal
Making a significant impact on the world requires working with significant players. CI engages leaders at the highest level of governments, corporations, non profit organizations, and local communities to pioneer solutions that protect our planet.

For example, just last month, CI provided scientific counsel on a monumental agreement signed between Norway and Guyana. Norway will invest up to $250 million to protect Guyana’s forests to tackle climate change. Your gift will help CI continue to forge groundbreaking agreements like these.

4. A little goes a long way
The burning and clearing of tropical forests currently pumps more climate change-causing pollution into the air than all the world’s cars, trucks and airplanes combined.

But you can help. Protect an acre of rainforest–or two or three–for only $15.

5. Right now, your gift goes twice as far
Give to CI right now, and loyal donors will match your contribution dollar-for-dollar.

It’s one of the most important things you can do for the future of our earth.

Please make your year-end gift to CI now.

Sincerely,

Beth Wallace
VP, Marketing Communications and Membership
