This means your Giving Tuesday gift of $10 or more will go 3X further to help save wildlife and wild places. But this offer ends at midnight—please don't let this opportunity pass you by! Our planet's greatest treasures are under threat. Some of the most iconic animals on the planet—lions, elephants, rhinos—face the threat of extinction. Our most amazing wild places like our rivers and oceans are filling with trash and toxic chemicals. And the people and cultures who each make humankind unique are slowly disappearing, their stories, languages, and knowledge lost forever. It doesn't have to be this way. Your Giving Tuesday gift of $10 or more can help repair our broken planet. And for today only, your gift will go THREE times as far to support the cutting-edge research, conservation efforts, and innovative storytelling that are key to saving our planet's greatest treasures. Here are just a few examples of the types of world-changing projects your gift today could support: National Geographic Fellow Steve Boyes and his team are undertaking a dangerous journey through the remote Okavango River Basin in Africa to survey the source waters that support about a million people and countless threatened species. Humans are slowly encroaching on this vital habitat, threatening the lions, cheetahs, and elephants that rely on this freshwater source. It is imperative that Steve and his team are able to continue their research to better understand how to protect this crucial ecosystem. "Yes, match my Giving Tuesday gift 3X to support conservation, exploration, and education projects!" National Geographic Explorer Anthony Cummings aims to reduce jaguar poaching in Suriname by 50 percent. This is an ambitious goal, but Anthony has spent time studying the conflict between miners and big cats and is working with locals on possible solutions on the ground. Cummings' project could keep jaguars from becoming endangered in Suriname and Guyana. "Yes, match my Giving Tuesday gift 3X to support conservation, exploration, and education projects!" We've partnered with Google to to build a first-of-its-kind, dynamic, four-dimensional digital representation of the vital signs of Earth's ecosystems. This living rendition of the globe will allow conservation leaders and decision makers to monitor the world's species and ecosystems over time, understand threats to the natural world, and realize solutions to help achieve a planet in balance. "Yes, match my Giving Tuesday gift 3X to support conservation, exploration, and education projects!" This is the only planet we've got. That's why we need you to step up this Giving Tuesday to help protect our ecosystems and endangered wildlife, preserve the history of our ancestors, and educate future generations on sustainable practices. We don't have any time to spare—make your gift of $10 or more today and it will go 3X further to fund the efforts of our Explorers, scientists, educators, and storytellers working toward a sustainable planet. Thank you for standing with us.
