Dear Supporter,

Recently we sent you an information package about the drastic changes taking place in one of the most sensitive regions of the world � the Arctic.

This issue is absolutely critical for us and we just had to write to you again for help.

Ice sheets are disappearing. Polar bears and their young cubs are struggling to find food or drowning as a result of having to swim too far in search of food. Meanwhile, energy and mining companies are clamoring for a way to plunder the Arctic's rich resources, which could change the landscape forever.

We need your help to get our Arctic Initiative underway.

WWF has the international clout and mobilizing ability to do it. Even more, we have a plan: The Arctic Initiative. With renowned scientists providing leading edge analysis, plus partners in Arctic nations, we are working to secure a sustainable future for the Arctic.

I thank you for your continued support of WWF-Canada. Today, I'm asking you to extend your generosity, once again, with a gift to protect the Arctic. Every dollar helps and will, in a very meaningful way, contribute to securing a sustainable future for our planet.

We have set up an urgent online donation page to make it easier and quicker for your donation to get to us immediately. Please consider making your donation right now.

Thank you again for your continued support.

For a Living Planet,

Gerald Butts
President and CEO, WWF-Canada

WWF's goal is to have 'Conservation First' principles implemented ahead of development in the Arctic.

The Arctic plays a key role in regulating the world's climate. The more it melts, the more unpredictable and extreme our own climate becomes.

Help us today to protect the Arctic!
